I'm working with a lightly-loaded machine that's used primarily for networking tasks. It does a little Web service and some PPP via "dumb" UARTs. It has an EISA motherboard and an Adaptec EISA SCSI Twin host adapter. (I'm not sure which chips it uses, but they might be the ones with which Justin was having some headaches.) The machine is still running 2.1.5, with patches to close security holes. I am considering upgrading it to either: a) 2.2.1-R; b) The 4/22/97 snapshot of the 2.2 "RELENG" branch (Why isn't it called something like 2.2.5-SNAP?); or c) The 5/2/97 snapshot of 3.0-current. Which would work best, given the model of SCSI adapter and the stability of the various releases? --Brett
