I chose this server as an example, because it's the oldest one. I didn't install the OS on this server, the vendor did. Not sure why they chose a prerelease version... perhaps 6.3 was almost ready to go and they wanted to put us on the 6.3 branch? I don't know. Anyway, I guess what I should do is patch this to the latest 6.3 version? Or should I go to the latest 6.x version? I am pretty sure I don't want to experiment with a 7.x upgrade. -- John
