The most stable box I have was a 2.2.x box that was upgraded to
3.1-STABLE, the out-of-box 3.1 boxes *I* have have been problematic, but
that might be hardware (one is a PII 450 built out of scraps, the other a
Dell Optiplex)
I was thinking about grabbing my 2.2.8 cd's and installing and cvsupping
up just to fix them ;)
