because, well, it's my main home machine which among other things
acts as a mail server for the domain, and I just hate having to go
thru the pain of re-customizing a new installation to get it the way
I want/like it. that's why I run a non-bleeding-edge distro.
which, of course, then implies that some new software won't be
compatible. Hence my question regarding compatibility.

I'm sure I'll upgrade it soon (for some values of "soon"), but in the
meantime, still wondering if anyone else has made it work.
