My reasons:
(1)   Device driver for my Digi card is not supported by the newer kernels.
(2)   It took me weeks to setup everything originally, and I don't want 
to take weeks more if something goes wrong.
(3)   It actually works (FC1 that is)... I haven't had any problems with 
DNS, etc on the unit.  Knock on wood.
(4)   I've learned a lot about RPM packages since the move to FL.  That 
has to count for something....  If I stayed with the most current, I 
would have never learned how to build my own samba packages, httpd 
packages, install and maintain my own ClamAV packages.  Actually learn a 
painful lesson why they don't update perl very often, etc.  I could go 
on and on about this point.

Just my 2-cents,
James Kosin
