That being said, there are always issues you need to be aware of. But if you read the stable mailing list and pay attention to the updating instructions, you should be fine. Still, its good practice to do an update on a test / non production machine first. ---Mike At 03:38 PM 21/07/2002 -0700, Darren Pilgrim wrote: >I'm upgrading to -stable for the first time, and was wondering if >anyone had any advice besides or gotchas?
