Hi, Otter: Thanks for your reply. That's what I though. Now I just wonder that revision _0 (the default installation with 4.2-stable) is more secure and stable than the latest revision (currently _6)? If I want to upgrade the XFree86-3.3.6_6 from 3.3.6_0, can I do that by using package or should I follow the method explained at www.xfree86.org? If I upgrade by package, then would it be easy to configure the X or I don't have to do it at all? Thanks a lot again. -Paul Otter wrote: > Some have said that 3.3.36 is more stable and secure.
