We are going to be migrating our current Networker system from Sun
Solaris 9, NW v7.2.1-1 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.  We are also in the
process of moving our support to EMC/Legato.  I'm at a point where I
need to install the OS and the decision is this, stay with NW v7.2.x
which requires installing RHEL3 or bite the bullet and go to NW v7.3.x
which would allow me to install RHEL4.  If I do the "safe" thing, it
will require an OS upgrade in the probable near future AND a NW upgrade.

Our current setup is relatively simple, 1 server, 1 tape library, no
additional nodes, no cloning, no special modules.  Right now, we backup
Linux, Solaris, and OS X clients on a 6 month tape rotation cycle.  We
will be adding our Windows servers to the clients.

The question, is the latest Networker v7.3.x stable enough?  I don't
have a test environment to play with and starting up fresh with a new
server is the closest thing that I will have to having some elbow room.
I've been reading the various postings with keen interest since we have
other technical reasons to move forward.  Comments?  Have things settled
down some?

Much appreciated,
