The current one is 6.06.1. There are 2 years left on its 3 year support cycle. Releases like 7.04 are set to release every 6 months with the newest software and have a much shorter support period. I have found each release to have some rough edges at first, and on a production machine, you will lose some time smoothing them out. Why do it every six months? -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
