--=-=-= Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm using a PC64 (from dmesg: "Digital AlphaPC 64 274 MHz, 274MHz") with three fxp cards as a firewall/router. The machine is currently running 4.9-STABLE, but I imagine that I'll be needing to upgrade to 5.x at some time soon when that becomes the stable branch. Right now, I'm using 5-CURRENT on a few x86 servers with great success, but I don't want to attempt to upgrade my router until I feel fairly confident that I can do it without too much downtime or emergency restoral from backups. So, does anyone have an opinion on whether 5.2.1 would probably be stable enough to upgrade at this time, or would I be better off waiting until 5-STABLE comes along? On the one hand, I don't want to upgrade prematurely. On the other hand, I don't want to wait until the 4-STABLE brance is completely dead so that I have no real fallback position if I encounter some weird hardware incompatibility. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAW1Vp5sRg+Y0CpvERAkAwAJ4jU+geeboSYNXxnVrV3sTOPlFfdQCcCCsW fGZzVD5S0CxyrloUr8dtBHs= =VLZj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
