6.5.0 vs 6.6.0 on Pro6
I am about to venture into the relm of OS6 on my Pro6 and I am curious if I should start with 6.5.0 (which from everything I have been reading is very stable) vs trying to run 6.6.0.
I see that some of the applications don't yet run on 6.6.0, one of them being PLEX which I would like to experiment with, although not immediately.
I am very good about backups but this is my "home production server" and is used to store critial data.
I am currently running 4.2.28 but ran 4.2.19 for many years.
Once I have a stable version I am planning on migrating all of my data onto the updated platform.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Anyway the Plex problems are with the RN2XX ARM build, I believe, not the x86 one.

Plex will certainly be fixed, so if you are not in a rush to implement it, I'd start with 6.6.0
You may not have much choice anyway, since the most of the r4tor6 bins on the downlload site are links to the latest (no matter what release is appended to their name).

Thanks,
Sounds like going to 6.6.0 is the right choice. Will run it for a bit before overwriting the legacy 4.2.28 disks.
