Thanks Blue, yea I figure why wait, might as well upgrade since i'll have to do it sooner than later. I was able to use centos 7 and just had to install using yum the following 3 packages: Development Tools, qt-devel, libpcap-devel. CN helped me also figure out i had to turn on session tracking because i had a lot of network noise that was causing issues (I have so many damn things in my house that have IP's addresses that are probably broadcasting crap all over, IOT stuff). Everything is working great now on new box and new version. I'm getting a raspberry pi 4 tomorrow and i'm going to try out some different OS's. I know there is a thread for that already so i wanted to play with one.
