I'm not holding my breath, but with the new installer nearly released it 
can't be too long now.

I actually expected apt to complain about that, but it installed fine 
and the foundation shop seems to work ok. The Redhat version won't 
install without force if you have a threaded perl. Maybe it will fail 
under load...

I tried this, but I ended up with v5.0.1 which is the "stable" version. 
There doesn't seem to be a current version for testing - only unstable - 
hence my question about running a mixed system.
