just a tiny remark to cinfirm. the main thing about 5.2 is that all the
libraries are upgraded to the latest stable ones needed for 2.2, so
dropping in the new stable kernel line, or the latest betas, is supposedly
painless. Also Windowmaker made it into the core installation collection
of RPMs, and the installation supports having more than one SCSI on the
system.

so, yes, install it if you're putting up a new machine, but no, it's not a
must to upgrade a working 5.1 machine (or 4.2 servers for that matter)
