If you follow this list, you know that a lot of stuff is just about to hit -current that will make life "interesting" for a while. If I were in your position, I would run 6.x on one MX, and HEAD from around now on the other, and keep a scratch box around with similar (or better yet, identical) hardware so that you can test upgrades to either version. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
