I have to add my vote for 6, as did someone else in an earlier post. Like some others, I always found 5.x a bit slower than 4.x (No benchmarks, completely subjective.) From the very beginning, I've found 6.x to be stable and quickly moved some non-critical servers to it. After testing, we moved the more critical servers to it as well, and have been quite happy withe results. Again, completely subjective, but from the beginning 6.x seemed faster and more responsive than 5.x - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: Have I ever let you down?
