<p>I installed WP 3.2.1 yesterday. That was the version with Compass.</p>
<p>I may have to install 10 or 20 of them, so GUI point and click saves me time and money.</p>
<p>Compass Networks should update their website with the actual packages they offer.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
Charles</p>

Thank you all for your inputs. The Compass module is nice but really<br>
outdated. I read up on WordPress and it is now 3.2.1 and you should<br>
also update your WP regularly as newer version updates security and<br>
bugs, etc. (per recommendation)<br>
<br>
Anyhow, there's a 5-minute how to install WP at <a href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">wordpress.org</a> site and<br>
it's true, it's that quick. Anyone else integrate WP w/their<br>
authentication system? i.e. accounts for the site with e-mail which uses<br>
/etc/shadow?<br>
