Don't use 1.2 at all it is a test and debug version and it doesn't
fscking work as I have found out today as one of my esteemed collegues
has installed it on our Ops linux box and now I can not access our BB
monitoring stuff in it.  Doesn't like the SSL cert we are using but
accepts others.  I am now in Redhat dependency hell trying to install
1.1.

FYI

1.0 Stable but boring
1.1 Feature release okish
1.2 Early beta release they tell you it is going to break

It is funny how similar problems happen around the same time.

Peace Jim
