	I've been using the freebsd 4.06 on -Stable since it came out, and have
had almost no problems with it, and less problems than 4.05. My only
complaint is that the "smart browsing" feature is enabled by default.
For those that haven't heard about this, if you mistype a URL it sends
it to netscape's spell checker deal which tries to figure out what it is
and direct you to that page. Netscape has been very cagey about whether
they log these or not.
