Hi,

well, I will try the 304, as I still have some 304 boxes here and the 
installation system can manage it well.

I use 303 because we are waiting for 305 :o)
Most of our problems are not solved with 304
(NFS bug, gcc headers bug...) and are solved
by 303 patches...
So we do not spend many effort in 304 until
305 is out...
