Speaking for myself, I did that (with -current though of course) because it allowed me to get a feel for 4.0 before upgrading more "important" systems, and to see what sort of problems I might encounter upgrading.

(Probably about 18 months, certainly since before 4.0-current existed. :-) -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
