What has my interest is getting people started with 4.0-Stable. A build world of some of these machines won't take forever but it's close :). I know most of them will go with the CD subscription if I can get them interested. I was looking for the repository on the 4.0 disk and didn't see it. My subscription started with 3.1. I'm looking at CD#2 now. I'll start with the most recent version. Then, cvsup won't take so long.
