I really believe the choose would depend on your requirements and your experience. If you are new to open source Unix-like environment then you should not use either in version in a production environment unless you can afford the cost associated with learning a new system. Do not under estimate that cost. In a production environment I would recommend using a system you are familiar with administering. I hope I do not get too many people mad at me for say this.
If you are seating up a file sharing server that works in a windows environment you may want to use 5.3. This version adds support for ACL, NSS (nss_ldap) , and a bunch of other stuff that I have not be able to explore yet. On Wednesday 29 September 2004 19:07, Michael G.
