John,

You're probably right... 2.1.69 *is* indeed quite old, but
unfortunataly some people I work with here at our department
are still running Debian 3.1 sarge... which has 2.1.69.  But
anyway, you're right, they should upgrade and forget about the
past ;-)

The reason I'm using 2.9.12 is because it is the version that is
in the package from my Ubuntu distribution (and I'm too lazy to
compile and install myself ;-)  For now, 2.9.12 seems to do just
fine for me, so i think i will only upgrade if i need features
from later versions.

Thanks,
Bart
