I don't know about intervening releases..but 6.4.5 has been flawlessly running on our Solaris x86 boxes for one year now 24/7 and we have never seen any issues at all...and these boxes ingest and decode, serve as workstations AND web servers. I am usually a fairly early adapter with GEMPAK and McIDAS, but with LDM if it is ingesting data fine and running fine I just tend to leave it alone. I am not saying that folks shouldn't upgrade if they want to but LDM stability also depends on OS stability, load, many other factors. The only LDM stability issues I had were when we had to go to Linux for two years several years ago at my previous job due to Sun's idiotic decision to stop Solaris x86..and that was definitely an OS related issue that was causing LDM problems not the other way around. I am certainly not going to try to get people to switch to Solaris (I imagine more recent versions of Linux are more stable than the version we were on except under heavy load) but the point is that OS can have as much to do with it as anything. If I wee giving advice to novice LDM users or those that wear about 10 different hats (like me)..I'd say if it is working just fine then just leave it alone..unless Unidata comes out and flat out says that it is a MUST upgrade from the pre 6.5 distros. Just my two cents.

For those of you who have LDM 6.5 or later...a reminder that tomorrow or Saturday, if you haven't upgraded to LDM 6.6.5, depending on your version and file actions in your pqact.conf, you MAY have file names that are incorrect if they are based on the date/time. And for those of you on earlier versions, you're missing out on the stability and new features! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** *******************************************************************************
