Hello admin!.

Thanks for all answers. Here I go.

The major difference is 2.5.1 has support for multi-processing ultras.

From: Amanul Haque <ahaque@psa.pencom.com>

My undersanding is that 2.5.1 is 2.5 with Ultra support.

From: Dave Zavatson <dhzavatson@ucdavis.edu>

The big difference is that you need 2.5.1 if you are running an ultra.
2.5 does not work on ultras.

Other than that, no big difference.

From: Martin Espinoza <drink@sei.com>

2.5.1 helps with Ultra 2 Creator3 machines and Creator3D machines.
In addition, WABI now runs Native on Solaris x86.
CDE now supports drag and drop properly, and a better installer.
Energy Star is nicer.
the Admin suite is nicer.
The Backup program is slicker.

From: "Boyd C. Fletcher (sysadmin)" <bcf@jtasc.acom.mil>

2.5.1 fixes a few bugs and has support for Creator3d graphics, Ultra 2, and
the new Ultra Enterprise servers
