I love 6.3 but should I wait to install 7.0? I mean I'd hate having to update a few months after the server is up and running. Especially, that any updates will be remotely handled (fortunately the ISP promises to help if need be - they are excellent and very responsive in this respect). -- Zbigniew Szalbot
