Indeed...I still run and admin a large number of 4-STABLE servers, and even as I'm currently in the process of deploying 6-STABLE on my own servers, I still regularly deploy 4-STABLE for customers of mine. There's a lot to be said for the "why fix what isn't broken" train of thought. I bet there are still a decent number of 2.2.8 boxes floating around...perhaps there's even more to be said for version maturity in general. I was hoping to wait for 6.4-R before jumping to the 6 line, but 6.2 is looking pretty solid for my purposes, so it seems like a great time to start migrating. I'm curious if anybody else is planning to migrate a large number of 4-STABLE boxes to 6-STABLE as of 6.2-R. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
