More features and the occasional speed boost :) I noticed a nice bit of a performance dif between 4.4 and 4.7. I found the extra features, stability, and ect to be nice. A little after that I upgraded hardware, older hardware started having very limited expandability, and started tracking stable and have absolutly loved it. I have really noticed a big dif with some of the changes that have been made since 4.7. > I'm happy running an 'obsolete' 4.6.2, nobody will move me from it. > Upgrading makes happy only the hardware vendors. I have found upgrade hardware makes me happy too :) I personally would love to have a box with a few gigs of ram to use as a cache. More HDD space is all ways useful to me. Yeah, cd/dvd works for back up, but it is annoying for easy to access archival purposes. Better networking is nice to. I personally want move parts of my system to a mesh topology using firewire400.
