Having run HEAD on my work laptop and desktop systems for a few years including all through the very messy transition from v4 to v6. Very seldom did I have serious issues, though I did have to watch mail to current@ to avoid some of the more serious breakages. Since FreeBSD-6, it has been pretty easy to run HEAD. I do suggest avoiding it for a couple of months after the base is fully thawed after a major release as lots of new code that has only been lightly tested gets committed. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired
