Paper looks good. The reasons we stuck with 4.9 were practical. When we 
started bringing up the box, 4.10 and the 5.x releases hung on the setup 
of some of them. We think it was related to the presence of an unused 
graphics adapter on the motherboard that kept being detected and which 
we couldn't turn off on this older Gateway computer, but that is purely 
a guess.
