Didn't think Presidents looked at news.. Anyway, I just had an additional question regarding BSDI binary compatibility. From what I understand, the commerce server at Walnut Creek (cdrom.com) runs under 2.2 -current. Since -current, is by definition, not necessarily "-stable", I was wondering if you or anyone else knows where to get the build that Walnut Creek is using -- if its good enough for them, its good enough for me! Or what about the recent SNAP CD they released -- do you think its stable enough to run commerce server? David
