The 1.13-25 version is on alpha.gnu.org now for about a year, but the tarballs of either will compile just fine on your machines as long as the developer stuff is on them. FWIW, 1.13-19 is also reported to work well with amanda. I was automaticly recommending the latest just because its the latest I guess :-) [...] -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.13% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
