sure, now you tell me. :) How much difference is there between the
official release and the rc1 version I downloaded and loaded on my
server. the rc1 version is working fine. I would rather not go to
another version. I was pleasantly surprised to get all my stuff loaded
included 600+ users and there settings and home directories.
any major changes, really, between rc1 and this official release?
thanks in advance
