This is OT, but I think that Red Hat has made a mistake by shipping 5.1.6 with RHEL5. RHEL5.1 is about to come in Q3, let's push on Red Hat to include 5.2 in separate packages (they can't upgrade now)
And yes, i know this would be hard...

Hopefully seeing an effort such as this, which should go public well before Q3, will be a notice to Red Hat as well as to web hosts. Of course, RH is known for upping the version of software they include and patching the hell out of it but not actually changing the version number, so who knows what it it is they actually run. :-) It certainly seems like everyone is in favor of this idea. We need to decide how we're going to formally "sign on". Dries, that's your call to decide how we go about it. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
