I remember 2.5.1 being widely deployed and rock solid.  When my university
attempted to upgrade to 2.6, they very quickly decided to downgrade again
and wait for 2.7.  (Campus-wide)... and this was several UE 3000's, 4000's,
and 6000's... which eventually became a 10000 (one othe the 6000's that is).
I loved 2.5.1 x86 once I got past their wretched boot disk debacle (the one
that shipped was useless)  I had to get a somewhat hard to get patched boot
disk to get the thing to install.
