> I thought that was the idea behind -stable? Only for those who have the know-how to track and update a Unix OS from sources and who also possess enough skill to return themselves to sanity if and when a source-based upgrade doesn't work. A novice might pull it off once or twice out of luck, but it's really just a monkey pushing buttons in a spacecraft at that point - it may be orbiting the earth but it's still not an astronaut. :-) People sometimes forget that -stable and -current are made available as a service primarily to *software engineers* and others who have no difficulty with the idea of getting directly involved with building binaries from sources, they're not at all aimed at or intended for the casual user/Unix novice and it's for that latter audience that we produce our regular releases. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
