1.2.15 or so.  (whatever version RHEL ships)  I'm gonna upgrade to
1.2.latest when I get my new servers in a few weeks.  Want to test
2.0.4 when it comes out, but haven't had the chance yet.  Last year I
had catastrophic failures of 2.0.2 or so under testing, and it took
weeks for the problems to show up.
