It is allowing total morons to destroy FreeBSD's reputation due to their incompetence. 3.0R SHOULD be only installed by people with a freakin clue. Not total newbies. It has resulted in a tremendous amount of noise on this forum, because these newbies think they should be running the latest and greatest. They aren't reading the release notes or anything else. Please don't let them continue. Make 3.0R available only to those willing to certify: 1. They are NOT using it in a production environment 2. They have extensive FreeBSD experience 3. They have extensive Unix System Admin experience 4. They realize 3.X is not yet supported 5. They are not Microsoft agents looking for an opportunity to bash any non-Microsoft system 3.0R is NOT ready for prime time, i.e., it's not ready for newbies. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
