Well, yes it is age-old as you say, but ROCK 3 is quit recent and while 
it is on my TODO list to build it and upgrade I have not yet done so, 
but I do have a set of install CDs for a generic build of 2.0.3.
I have a new 64bit laptop on order from Linux Citified that should be 
here this week or next. When it arrives I will use it to build ROCK 3.

What I guess I'm getting at is that when you have a single release that 
is so long standing that it comes to be viewed as possibly the final 
release of the project, then the latest-greatest is finally released, it 
is inappropriate to immediately disregard the now old release.  The fact 
is that with the exception of those of you whom are in a continuous 
upgrade cycle, the majority of us that use ROCK are probably running 
2.0.3 as that is what there was for the longest time.  My build is I 
think over a year old, and until about a month ago was still the latest 
release (trunk excepted).  More over I have become aware of most of the 
flaws in 2.0.3 that affect me and know what to do on a fresh install to 
make it work for me.  ROCK 3 may carry some of the same flaws and 
probably has new ones which means it will be another learning 
experience.  If I want to install a box that someone else is to use, or 
a hands-off sever, I don't want a learning experience, I want something 
rock solid.

Something to consider.

Make it a great day.
