The only thing wrong with 5.3 is the gvinum doesn't work yet. It doesn't seem like you'll be using gvinum. If you install 4.10, you'll want to upgrade at some point in the future when 4.X isn't supported any more. Unless you know factually that you won't be keeping this server around very long (i.e., less than a year). If that's the case, use 4.10 as it's a more tested codebase. I still think that's wrong, as servers always seem to stay around longer than you plan. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
