You write to tell us now that a release that was produced some four months ago is (was?) unstable? Have you noticed that we've done another release since then? Have you stopped to consider that it isn't even slightly helpful to report problems with FreeBSD _after_ a release? We depend on our users to tell us about problems on the -stable branch before it's rolled into a release, not afterwards. If you're not willing to take part in this process, your complaints are likely to be ignored at the very least. In your case, I can't work out what it is that you want to achieve here; the problems with 3.1 are well known and have mostly been addressed in 3.2. There are ongoing issues that are being worked on, with help from various people (yourself notably not included). If you want to see future releases perform better than the one you're whining about now, I suggest you get busy contributing something more useful than your current load of hot air. > I've checked this out on good hardware.
