Chris, I don't think anyone is arguing with you regarding a new box and
I realise that moving from CentOS4 to CentOS5 requires a fresh install.
The difference is that CentOS4 is still supported while BlueQuartz isn't!
It would be nice to move from one supported product to another supported
product instead of what has happened now where all updates have stopped
for BQ forcing us to move to BX immediately. BlueQuartz has basically
done a Cobalt!!
I am currently turning customers away because I don't have the time to
setup new BQ servers and I certainly don't have time to buy new servers
and migrate everyone to BX immediately.
My point in particular was that ALL of this was avoidable!!! It should
have been BlueQuartz that ventured into Centos5, instead they killed it!

IMHO I think most of them did! Not knocking anyone that is still here,
as has been said many many times, you are all amazing and I truly
believe that. We have still lost one hell of a lot of talent though
from helpers on the mailing list to developers to people that could have
just helped raise bugs..... GONE
