    I think the biggest benefit of upgrading off 9.3.8 is availability of Technical support and software updates; bug fixes, security patches, etc. According to this article 9.3.8 is already EoTS March of 2012.

    What version you guy recommend between 10.2.4HF5 and 11.3.0HF1 ? ^_^there is a bug when running tcpdump in 11.3.0. it is fixed in 11.3.0 hf2 which is not published yet. so, i believe either 10.2.4 or 11.2.1 latest hotfix is good to go.
