Currently, I'm running 2.1.7 on a news and dns machine at work and think I'm going to stay with it at least for a while longer... 2.2.1 installed ok, but it did have a few problems that I can live with at home, but not sure how well I'd sleep with 2* in my mission critical machines at work... Of course, you know what opinions are like. =) -- Ed Paquette Systems Administrator / NCIA ed@ncia.net
