Hi
I don't know what I'm going to say is going to help you and is a bit off
topic.
What i do is for production boxes is i maintain the box on eg 5.4 and
update that release with patches until a new release eg 5.5 and then
upgrade to that.
I believe (you can prove me wrong) is that _stable_ is stable but is not
as stable as a release with updates.
I do have machine with stable and current but thats for development and
testing.
