I am putting up 2-new Linux based 6.x servers that will eventually replace
older 5.5.x boxes.

My issue/question is........  should I go with 6.1.4.1 or 6.2.1.1?

Part of the reason for asking this is due to my bad experience with trying
to upgrade a test server from 6.1.3.4 to 6.2.1 - total failure - upgrade
would not run to completion - kept telling me the database had issues
(eventhough it was a virgin, empty 6.1.3.4 instance just installed) and it
got so badly torqued when I tried to remove the half-install, I had to
have the OS guy just wipe it and start all over. Then I installed 6.2.1.1
virgin and it has been sitting there (waiting to have it shipped offsite).

To date, I have not had any problems upgrading/patching my one production
6.1.x server - just getting ready to upgrade from 6.1.3.4 to 6.1.4.1
(anyone else do this on a Linux platform ?  Any problems?)

Your thoughts?
