Except for some minor bumps in the road (main= ly=20 on upgrades) they have all worked flawlessly. One suggestion, at /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c go to line 176 and=20 #define NO_MALLOC_EXTRAS, it was put in for testing and undefined causes a= =20 noticeable performance loss. Running -CURRENT can be risky, but I test out each upgrade on my personal=20 server before putting it into production. Also, it's especially important t= o=20 read UPGRADING. It's kept me from getting bit several times. To sum it up, I personally have no problem running -CURRENT on a production= =20 machine.=20 Beech =2D-=20 =2D------------------------------------------------------------------------= =2D------------- Beech Rintoul - Sys.
