The CVS code was reasonably stable, but you should know this seemed more like a "Time for a release, we're due for one" with lots and lots of new checkins shortly before release, and not a "Feature freeze for 1 month, bug fixes only" sort of release. Both strategies have their merits, so you should judge what you want to install. > Do yourself a favor and get a 20gb drive for the system. I recommend against any use of 20gb drives, especially in frontends. While they are a bit more reliable, they put out as much if not more heat, noise and power demand as modern 200gb drives. So if heat, noise and power consumption are issues, use the biggest drives you can find. The downside is you have fewer spindles/seek arms, so your disk will seek a lot more between the OS and the video, but the bandwidth for video is not so much that modern drives have trouble handling it.
