I was using RC1 and RC2 on virtual machine, then installed RC3 in place of my stable system on Dell Latitude E4310 laptop - with normal usage and hard overload I can see no issues - ext2fs and zfs partifions are working fine also when serving content for virtual machines inside virtualbox-ose 4.1.22 :-) The initial packages installation is hard because there is no 9.1 ports directory on the ftp servers to use, so I had to build portupgrade and then install packages with portinstall -PP. Before I was using pkg_add -r and portmaster (which is a bit worse than portupgrade I think because it cannot find any binary packaged itself). But the first impression is that there are no packages available to install! Also the relase notes documents still use 9.0 numbering... Except some issues with current ports like xfce4 window manager does not work properly (this might impact release binaries) and fusefs-kmod does not build with ruby1.9 which are reported already, I might have some wishlist for future: It would be nice to have ext4 natively implemented in the kernel, because ext2 still seems to be most multiplatform filesystem to share partitions across different operating systems. Or another solution is to port new UFS driver for Linux and Windows so we can use BSD partitions and filesystems on them with no problem :-) WiFi Intel driver crashed my system on 9.0, I hope its fixed :-) It would be really good to have hardware graphics acceleration for Intel X3400 chipsets, and the way it does not destroys the native console because it is very useful for tracing problems... If you have any particular requests to test some stuff on this hardware let me know :-) Thank you for your hard work! Best regards :-) Tomek Cedro -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
