YDL 3.0 on a PowerCenter 120

[Rick Thomas]

The thing you'll get with installing 3.0 is a bunch of security 
updates and bugfixes.

YDL is a small company and they can't afford to provide security 
patches and bugfixes to back releases, such a 2.2.

Those of us running internet servers with at least a few ports 
exposed to the wild world of hackerdom on the Internet need to keep 
up with the latest security fixes.  We have to run the "current" 
release in order to get the fixes.  Or else, we need to be prepared 
to compile our own critical software and apply our own patches.

Does that help with the motivation to install 3.0?

If I were you, I'd back up my 2.2 disk (or spend a $100 to buy a 
newer, bigger one to replace it) and do a test install of 3.0.  If 
it works, then great!  If it doesn't work, go back to 2.2 and look 
for some way to get the most important security updates from 3.0 
installed.

Enjoy!

Rick
