I don't think 4 STABLE has ACL. I would suggest installing 5.3 RC1. This
is already prity stable and will be officaly afther a few week/months.
Do be conservitive with upgrading until the 5.3 release is out. You can
also install 5.2.1 plus patches instead if you like an actual release
better. This prity stable althou officaly not a stable but i feel that
you can safly use it.
