[Jprogramming] CGI

[Joey K Tuttle]

Yes - the path seemed too dangerous, even though I would much
prefer to be using current J. My situation is further compromised
by having two (old but reliable) Compaq servers - and other/newer
Linux update attempts have been frustrated by them... For example,
I tried to switch from Redhat to SUSE but couldn't get past the
hardware issues... I keep looking at new servers, but find it hard
to give the working/reliable ones up...

Oleg, thanks for the "embryonic j504" explanation and warning.
