Thanks for all your answers. If I have this right, my SL4.0 machine is 
somewhere between a 4.0 and 4.1 release (and when 4.1 is released it'll 
just be a snapshot of 4.0 plus updates and errata's)? Is that right?

So my other SL3.03 box is effectively somewhere between the 3.04 and 
3.05 releases?

Cheers,
Rob
