Hi,

What's the current verdict for the recommended version of NW? We will be installing a fresh install on Dell RHEL 5.4 64-bit. Should we just use 7.5.1 or 7.4.4? Kind of worried about problems and patches and would like to be stable but hate to have to upgrade again right after.

Here's the following details:

New server
----------
Hardware: Dell PowerEdge 1950
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4, 64 bit
Memory: 8 GB RAM; dual quad processor (Intel)
Disk space: Lots!
Kernel (`uname -a`): Linux server_name 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

New snode
---------
Hardware: Dell PowerEdge R905
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4, 64 bit
Memory: 16 GB RAM; four quad processor (ADM)
NIC: 4 GIG LACP Trunk
Disk space: Plenty!
Tape library: SAS attached Dell ML6000 tape library with six LTO-4 drives.
Kernel (`uname -a`): Linux snode_name 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
