I got 5.2 simply because I had fallen so far behind on the errata for 5.1,
it would take me a week to get them all downloaded and installed. I viewed
it not as an "upgrade", but a clean slate. And a little financial support
for a Linux company, plus a tangible "vote" for more Linux software in the
stores....

Not too bad, for $40.
