The 5.3 release, which will be the first 5 on the -STABLE branch, is due out at the beginning of October. If you want to play around with something before that, they're currently releasing betas of 5 and you can use one of those. I've been using the 5 branch for quite some time, and have found it quite stable (if not yet officially -STABLE). I did have a problem with 5.3-BETA3, but that will be fixed in BETA4. I don't believe 4.x supports AMD64. -David -- +++ Divide By Cucumber Error. Please Reinstall Universe And Reboot. +++
