I beg to differ here. The 2.5 series was for making sure everything worked. Once they renumbered to 2.6, it became production-ready. I don't understand how commercial software gets sneering comments about waiting for the first couple of patchsets before using it but open source can be apologized for when you have to do the exact same thing. Sorry for the rant but sometimes what appears to be hypocrisy just drives me nuts. Ric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
