We are going into the year 2000 on 5.5 PP6. This is the version we
tested and the version that passed our testing. We feel that if we were
to install version 6.0 we would have to do our complete testing over
again. I think not at this late date. If you have tested your system and
it has passed, I would just install PP6. If you are going to do testing
I would install version 6.0 before the testing. We have five HP3000s. If
you are trusting the testing of others or HP I would go with their
recommendation.
