I'm holding off putting it on the servers though. :) I moved my personal web/shell server to 6.x last week with the advent of the beta. It seems to be working quite well, and the server does quite a bit of work. The one caution I'd have is that the library versions are all in the throes of changing, and since there aren't compat5x packages yet, you'll want to do an incremental update from 5.x to 6.x so that the old 5.x libraries are still available to run older applications against. This will be fixed with the next beta, but it sounded like David won't get to that until after the weekend. Robert N M Watson
