I thought that STABLE was something *less than* 2.1? So once 2.1 "ships", then STABLE will be 2.1 as-is, plus perhaps patches? I'm trying to figure out which copy to SUP here and maintain locally. I haven't used CURRENT, as that is by definition at times not even compilable. For a production system, STABLE has been ok for us -- is this the continuing recommendation? -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity Modem: [+1 312 248-0900] | (shell, PPP, SLIP, leased) in Chicagoland Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1] | 7 Chicagoland POPs, ISDN, 28.8, much more Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.net ISDN - Get it here TODAY! | Home of Chicago's *Three STAR A* Clarinet feed!
