donna,

Just curious but how often are you still applying
patches? I installed 7.5 with PP2 in July 2005 and
have only put on one patch for FTP since then. Granted
we are only running one major application and don't do
anything "fancy" or push the system.
have had to do an occasional restart due to I/O hangs
so I'm not in the running for the record yet.
