Most people will tell you that 4.9 will be the best version to= use for a production environment, and they would be right. However, the 4.x br= anch won't be around forever. Some day in the not so distant future, 5.x will go to -stable. If you want proven reliability, go with 4.9. If you think you might want t= o=20 upgrade to 5.x in the near future, you might want to use 5.2 so you don't h= ave to hassle upgrading from 4.x to 5.x. I have personally been using 5.x since it was still only -current. I've had no problems on any 5.x-release system= s, they've always preformed well. I hope this helps you decide. Good luck with your switch. -- Andy Miller --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAi4ZI7Gy/m4mCrLkRAs4aAKCvfjc79xBHlB5LuWf8KuNR07gXJACg5SPS Jk+xU07KdBGXRWz/Z6NL9YA= =vCz5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe--
