If you are using SGE 6.2u5, then feel free to stay put. The Open Grid Scheduler project will maintain the 6.2u5 version for at least 1 or 2 more years. The OGS 6.2u5p1 & OGS 6.2u5p2 are patch releases, and we will continue to fix critical bugs (eg. security bugs found recently or bugs that cause daemon crashes). However, performance or functionality enhancements will not be added to the OGS 6.2u5 patch release. > I am also glad to hear that I should be able to upgrade my OS without > touching our existing install.
