Hi I don't know what I'm going to say is going to help you and is a bit off topic. What i do is for production boxes is i maintain the box on eg 5.4 and update that release with patches until a new release eg 5.5 and then upgrade to that. I believe (you can prove me wrong) is that _stable_ is stable but is not as stable as a release with updates. I do have machine with stable and current but thats for development and testing. ~ Dale Kövesdán Gábor wrote: > MoonblueZ wrote: > >> OK...
