I'd rather not get into a long discussion about this, but the above
reflects a perception that I do not share, for the simple reason that I
track FreeBSD stable/8, stable/9, and head daily on my laptop.  And
since each of these is an "in-place" source upgrade, I reboot to get
into each of those environments.  And since I actually track stable/9
twice (one slice has stable/9 built with gcc; the other with clang) --
well, my mornings tend to be busy.  (Just installing the stable/8
freshly-built kernel as I type.)

In addition, I normally power the laptop off when I put it in my
backpack & cycle to or from the train station.  (Well, if I'm running
stable/9 or head at the time, I can suspend it & resume once I've
arrived.)

Granted, neither of the above may be especially common, but "diversity
[in this case, of experience] is a wonderful thing."

Let us not assume that others' experiences and perceptions are limited
to our own -- please?  :-)

Peace,
david
