I didn't suggest that I wanted to use 7-CURRENT for production releases. That's entirely based on the devs responses. I'll give the 4.11 release a shot, but I don't like using 4.x because the SMP quality and 64-bit capability is lower than of 5.x and 6.x, and the majority of these tests need to be done with 64-bit capability since all of the machines will be Core2Duo+ capable (and thinking ahead), Quad core+ enabled. -Garrett
