There are huge numbers of people who are just installing it and using it hitch-free. I'm hardly the prolific unix-installed-for-bread like say Rod is, but I would have done twenty+ installs on the most amazing range of hardware; the only problems I've had are hardware (dying disk on my NFS server, so I swapped over halfway through the install to a different machine, crummy ethernet cards, so I select the slow NFS option... that sort of jazz). If you want something more stable than 2.0, 2.0.5 is great. If 2.0 isn't giving you any grief, and none of the new features in 2.0.5 are useful to you, then by all means keep on with what you've got. > Walter .S. Alcaraz Zippy D.
