I prefer to use a bit more mature version on there.

I'm looking forward to finally moving away from 5.5 (not because it's been troublesome in the least, but because there are some practical improvements in 6.x for me).

As a tangent, I can't understand why the first two (seemingly innocuous) comments were modded down. Maybe we can lighten up a bit.

It's nice to see that the 6 series will continue on. It's a great series and will hold it's own while the 7 series matures.

I'm not sure if I should put 7.0 on my systems as soon as it arrives, or install the next (and maybe last) release of 6.x instead, just having to install 7.1 very soon...

Someone help me! I can't decide, I need a command! :-)

"I'm looking forward to finally moving away from 5.5 (not because it's been troublesome in the least, but because there are some practical improvements in 6.x for me)."

I've still got two 5.x systems that run very well, so I would not have a reason to update due to missing functionality, but it usually causes problems when I attempt to install and try out new software ("bleeding edge" ones). Okay, it's not that 5.x systems will break apart when 7.0 arrives, but... Sat, 01 Dec 2007 22:17:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Doc Pain) Comments
