Re: Domino 6.5.4 FP1

Scott,

Regarding going to 6.5.5, I guess it all depends on what you need to 
accomplish with an upgrade. I know that Lotus spends a lot of time testing 
the Maintenance Updates, but 7.0 has been in beta for a LONG time and I'm 
betting it's going to be fairly stable. I believe I will likely go 
directly to 7. The other week I installed 7 on an older 270 we use for 
some testing and also on a small Linux box. The upgrades went well, but 
neither constitute a full testing environment. I haven't thought of 
upgrading production/cluster yet beyond just knowing that I plan on doing 
it soon.

Has anybody else upgraded to 7.0?
