Or move > up to 5.3? Personally, I would consider moving to the 5.x branch as it has now been declared to be the "Stable" branch, and the 4.x versions won't be supported much longer. I've set up several servers using 5.3 and they seem reasonably stable. I'm now in the process of upgrading one of my older servers to 5.3 from 4.8. Of course, others may have different ideas, but in the end, if the test server you set up works like it should, what reason do you have for not using it?
