I recently upgraded my server from ClarkConnect 3.2 to 4.0. While I generally prefer re-installation to upgrades, I have to say that the upgrade precodure worked flawlessly, except for some of the mail services I have configured on it (minor character set issue) There are a few minor bugs that annoys me. Nothing serious, but the webpage that administers running processes/services now confuse SlimServers MySQL with the built-in one. And while SlimServer shows up, it is listed as "not running" when it clearly is. And the stop/start for SlimServer doesn't work either, so I have to revert to the command line for that. None of these bugs were in 3.2. Unless you really need some of the new features in 4.0, I would advice you to wait until the bugs get fixed (4.1 ?), especially if you only use it for SlimServer. Mine is also a firewall, NFS and Samba fileserver, DNS and NIS server, webserver for several domains and mailserver with virus scanning and spam filtering. Not bad on an old 600MHz Pentium-III box.. One thing that really irked me with CC 4.0 is the introduction of a 10-user limit. While not a practical issue for me, I find it a betrayal of the ideas and ideals behind open source software. -- blackbear ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blackbear's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28277 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
