8.103 or 8.20X

Since I see a lot of questions and dilemmas about the new version (8201), which obviously has a lot of problems, I suggest that everyone read this answer, because I believe that it is short, clear and honest.

I believe that Astaro Team works 24 hours a day to fix the problem.

I first installed the new version at all locations. Yesterday I got back to 8103.

Such is life. It will be better ... :-)

  • Don't overestimate the problems discussed here. Some of the problems are very specific and only happens in a few situations - but I also understand disappointed poeple which are experiencing issues. Overall it's a good release - not perfect, but really good.

    If you are heavily Webproxy dependent, or have Astaro Wireless with separate zone networks in usage or Intel NICs in your Appliance, it's maybe safer to stick on 8.103 for the moment to avoid possible issues. I expect 8.202 fixing most of the remaining issues.

    I personally like 8.2a lot [:D] As always tons of new, cool features and very fast. Happily I'm not experiencing any of those discussed issues (except of the separate zone wireless issue). But I'm sure this will be fixed soon too.
  • stick with 8.103.


    This... 8.103 is what I'm recommending my customers stay with until some of the outstanding bugs are fixed.
