This is a fairly busy SMP PII 450 web server, a pair of LVD 10K drives,
512MB RAM... According to a quick glance at webalizer, they average 2
million hits a day on a heavily perl generated web site.

The only thing I have been keeping upto date on it has been the various
applications like bind and apache for security reasons. The customer has
not paid me to cvsup/rebuild/reboot etc. They are happy and dont want to
change a thing as its been so stable for them.
So, is 3.x STABLE a stable system ? Yes, it has been for us, as well as
many other people... I have a few dozen or so other 3.x boxes deployed in
various production sites. They have done very well for us. I have also
started deploying 4.x machines slowly into production... Same positive
results.
So how about we let this thread die ASAP ? Or move it to -chat.
