I would add that I do not believe there are compelling reasons to upgrade from 1.13 to 1.14 if your distro hasn't. I would recommend sticking with what your distro is providing unless there is some highly compelling reason to install your own package. This is especially true on a server. If you really have a need for 1.14, I would upgrade your entire distro to a version that provides it. Mark
