I presume, from your email address, that you work for Weyerhauser? I think that I might know one of the salesmen there, he used to work for Mac Blo and come to our store but got transfered from Edmonton to Saskatoon. Anyway, I would install 4.0 release and play with that for a while then upgrade to -stable or -current. BTW if you would like, I can lend you my 4.0 cd's for a week. I'm in central AB and could mail them to you, that would save a lot of time in downloading, unless you have a really fast connection.
