I said at the time that 3.0 wasn't ready, and so did Greg Lehey, IIRC. It was he who said something to the effect that the so-called "beta testing" was actually integration testing. I didn't start recommending 3.x for production environments until after 3.2 came out and had taken enough pounding to give me some confidence in it. I'm not blaming anyone, nor am I saying that I would have run things better, but I *am* taking issue with the accusation of revisionism. -- Ben Rosengart UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc.
