Actually this is such a common problem, I wonder if we can somehow pool resources and publish this information. It would be advantageous to have a web page somewhere that presented the collected testing of people testing a new release, through the RC and release process, along with some idea of what they've compiled/installed/run on it. Unfortunately, I have no idea of how to accomplish this lofty goal, so I'll just toss it in here and let all the great minds here grind away on it. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
