Here is my view regarding your posting: 3.1 is probably the most unstable "stable version" ever to be sent out by Walnut Creek. I have a machine that has 2.2.6 on it, which has been abused, cold booted, etc. When I received 3.1 in the mail I installed it on three seperate machines before giving up. to many system failures. I am waiting for 3.2 to replace my 2.2.6 installation due to the machine's importance. Right now I am using 4.0 current 19990421 on my test box which works fine, go figure? Although I am not a programmer, I do care about the open source movement, and look forward to the day where I can replace all of the desktop OS's in my office with a free version of unix, linux, etc. To sum it all up is there any difference between the branches?
