My main server is running 2.1-STABLE, the rest of my machines are 2.2-STABLE. I've followed the security patches in BIND and sendmail, but there's nothing they need to do they can't do as configured. Trailing edge is good in production. My 3.3-RELEASE CDs are still shrink wrapped, though I was planning to fire them up on a test box over the long Thanksgiving holiday. I just saw too many "I upgraded my 2.2 box to 3.2, and now I'm having these crashes" messages on this list to jump in. Now, where I work we have some 3.2 machines that are running fine. So don't take this as an indictment, just my personal quirk perhaps. -crl -- Chad R.
