| On the other hand, there are numerous new features (GEOM, TrustedBSD, | OpenPAM, Snapshots + background fsck, etc) being implemented in 5.x that It appears that most of these are features that are 'use as needed.' In other words, if I don't need them, I don't need to know about them. On the other hand, when moving to 4.0 there were issues with hardware (specifically PC-cards and sound) that gave me a hard time for quite a while. These were less about new features and more about underlying architecture and stability, and getting new code to work correctly. Other than devfs (which I haven't investigated yet) it seems most of these features are extras, not the basics, correct? Other than SMP, of course. jm -- There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
