It is only because I found a 3.4 installation cdrom more eaasily that I have installed a 3.x version on my home PC, after removing for the zillion'th time that Windows thing from my workstation at work. One of the things that strikes me as a major difference between 3.x and 4.x is that the latter seems to run more smoothly when I copy large amount of data from an IDE device to some other IDE device near by. The 4.x branch is definitely a lot more stable now than 3.x, IMHO. Not that 4.x never had any problems, since I recall trying a lot harder to get MySQL and PHP-4 on a 4.x installation to work properly. But that was a couple of weeks *before* the release of 4.0; I suspect than by now 4.x has become a lot better. I guess, I'll have to try it once more, and see if it works better now :-) -- Giorgos Keramidas < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > Find my public pgp key at: finger://keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
