Another question is how stable is 3.0? I'm having all sorts of difficulties getting Perl, Mysql, DBI and DBD:mysql up and going. So far I haven't even been able to get Perl to compile properly, without generating at least one error in the tests. (I've tried 5.004.04, from the Packages collection, I've tried it was normal unix source, I've tried it with 5.005.02 (more errors not less) etc). When I tried it with 5.005.02, I compiled gcc 2.8.1 first hoping that 'later' meant 'better'.... :-( I've set it up on a 486/33 SX, with 8MB ram, 40MB swap, 340MB hard drive, NE2100 card and and Trident 8900C 1Meg video card.
