Whichever one works best for you, and if you can't distinguish them on performance or bug-fixes, choose 9.1. However, don't fall into the trap of thinking 'because I'm running OS version 9.0 I have to use the binary packages for 9.0.' You don't. And in fact, if it's more than a month or so since the OS was released, you should be checking for updates. Unfortunately, since the security problem, there haven't been updates to package sets for *any* OS versions available. So your best recourse is to pull down a copy of the ports tree and build what packages you need for yourself. This is time consuming, but not particularly difficult. Cheers, Matthew
