What are people's general opinions on SunOS 4.1?  I am contemplating
installing 4.1 on an SS-1 and an SLC that I am responsible for, so I am
mainly interested on the effects on the programming and sysadmin-ing
environment.  Overall, I am quite happy with 4.0.3, but I've heard that
4.1 is considerably faster.

What I'd like to know is things like:

o Is it stable?
o Does it break you existing X11R4, Cnews, MMDF environment?
o Any unusual problems?
o Should I wait for 4.1.1 or something?
o How much better/faster is it?
o What good/useful new features are there?

Please mail me directly, and I will summarise to this group if there is
sufficient interest.
