I run 5 WBEL4 boxes and 7 WBEL3 boxes.

WBEL4 does nicer things, has newer toys, etc.

I've also had a number of incidents where it's not 100% reliable - in
particular, the ntp and bind daemons sometimes seem to stop functioning
without actually dying. I've yet to work out why this should be.

In contrast, all my WBEL3 boxes are rock solid (even if my p233, 32MB
laptop is quite remarkably slow about it...)
