The hard part is reverse engineering the .0 release build environment and the .1 follows pretty quick from there. Occasionally a .x release breaks the environment and you get situations like 5.6 was. Just my $0.02 form trolling the lists the last few years. :-) -- Drew Waiting patiently for 6.x so he can try out KVM stuff without having to do a from scratch reinstall.
