The upgrade from 4.x to 5.x is nearly impossible and you're better off doing a fresh install. I've been using 5.x for quite a while now, even on a production web server with little problems. There's also better hardware support. Expect to see a few bugs, but they're getting taken care of pretty quickly. HTH -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588
