I'm planning on using DotNetNuke for a large amount of retail Point-of-Sale PCs. I want to reduce the amount of risk this presents by accessing the portal via these POSs. 

What is the most stable version of DNN? 

I am currently using 4.7.0 on the Corporate Intranet and have issues with requiring IIS resets. Sometimes the error message shows an inaccurate read of the web.config making us think there's a permissions issue. Sometimes the error is the generic DotNetNuke server error. A lot of times the errors in Event Viewer show problems with the SolPart menu or security permissions. Any ideas for that?

The current install of 4.8.1 on the development server is already presenting issues. When I tried to add a module, it hung for a while then gave me a Javascript error.

Great, thanks for your response. I kind of expected a less than concrete answer... but, I'd like to use the most updated version if possible. I was just disappointed in the issues I was having in a stripped portal. I uninstalled several modules for simplicity... and like I said adding simple items or even trying to delete modules cause the site to hang sometimes. Hopefully Chris' blog will help with those. I'll look for it now...

Thanks again!

Anyone else have your 2 cents to give?

I am personally using 4.6.2 for my business sites.

At my day job I am using 4.7.0 but will go to  4.8.1 soon.

I just haven't found a true need to upgrade my business site from 4.6.2 as it is working so well.
