Not at all! Why shouldn't even a production user want to keep track of ongoing development? Of course, the production environment is still based on the old boaring stuff you get support for in case your highly critical SAP system goes down, but - at some point in time - there will be a next version of this Enterprise OS, with many new versions and features. If one has enough resources to follow this track, I can only encourage everyone to do this, as it makes it much easier to upgrade to "the next version", too... > Regards, > Lars Cheers. l8er manfred _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
