Like Derek intimated, things are just not quite working, and don't feel right. To me, it's like they're trying to run far too fast, and cutting corners. I want a rock solid foundation to base my servers on, and feel that Ubuntu no longer provides this. I have similar problems with drupal - fabulous product, but in a production environment, version 5 is the best supported, version 6 has had 4 major updates since release ( April? ) and many core modules are not yet ported, yet most effort seems to be going into the upcoming version 7, rather than into quality tested code! I'm back to debian stable ( a number of my test servers are running lenny as the softraid support is much improved and I'm having no reliability problems there ) or Centos 5 after my flirtation with Ubu - just my home server is running it now. Must be getting conservative in my old age. Mind you, that's a good trait for a sys admin to have! Cheers, Steve -- Steve Holdoway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
