Well, yes it is age-old as you say, but ROCK 3 is quit recent and while it is on my TODO list to build it and upgrade I have not yet done so, but I do have a set of install CDs for a generic build of 2.0.3. I have a new 64bit laptop on order from Linux Citified that should be here this week or next. When it arrives I will use it to build ROCK 3. What I guess I'm getting at is that when you have a single release that is so long standing that it comes to be viewed as possibly the final release of the project, then the latest-greatest is finally released, it is inappropriate to immediately disregard the now old release. The fact is that with the exception of those of you whom are in a continuous upgrade cycle, the majority of us that use ROCK are probably running 2.0.3 as that is what there was for the longest time. My build is I think over a year old, and until about a month ago was still the latest release (trunk excepted). More over I have become aware of most of the flaws in 2.0.3 that affect me and know what to do on a fresh install to make it work for me. ROCK 3 may carry some of the same flaws and probably has new ones which means it will be another learning experience. If I want to install a box that someone else is to use, or a hands-off sever, I don't want a learning experience, I want something rock solid. Something to consider.
