If it ain't broke, don't fix it is my general motto WRT computers. As mentioned earlier, about the only thing that needs to get updated is lsof since it is tied to the OS version identifier string. It might still work but will complain. Other than that, if something is broken or you need a new feature from a newer version, then that's a reason to upgrade it. Otherwise why waste the time? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
