That good, eh?  Well, i wouldn't call it 'mission critical' but it is
important that the basics stay functional pretty predictably, like
windowmaker, netscape, ppp, vim, cdrom, sound, zip drive, etc.  Other
than that, i'm just a little wary about the first bumper crop of bugs.

What makes it 'much much better than 3.0'?

You mean 3.x in general?  Or just the quality of this x.0 release
compared to 3.0?
