Thanks Lonnie for the info.
So if things are running fine now then there shouldn't be too much risk waiting
until I do my next upgrade (1.3.10 or later) before I upgrade Runnix?

Also keep in mind AstLinux 1.3.8 and older will only upgrade RUNNIX to
runnix-0.5.11.
AstLinux 1.3.10 and newer will use runnix-0.6.1 (or later)
