Hello

We need to set up a new monbox (or in terms of gLite 3.2 bdii server) as 
a part of cluster integration process (we are also setting up a new sl4 ce 
to replace the old one). It will be the only machine we will use for this 
purpose and we prefer to put it strait away in production to replace  the old 
server.

I was looking at the question from  Dug  and Daniela about sl5 bdii and 
want to ask:

if we want to avoid unnecessary complication should we install sl4 bdii or 
sl5 bdii?

Could you please advice on this matter?

Thank you
Elena
