I've been running 5.x on a production server for quite a few months now. The main reason is that I'm the main Unix guy at my job, and if I get hit by a bus it'll be far easier for my coworkers to upgrade from 5.2.something to 5-STABLE when it comes out than from 4-STABLE to 5-STABLE. I've had no problems whatsoever in a live environment. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser "94 outdated ports on the box, 94 outdated ports.
