Indeed there is the problem with the KDE installation, and of course the minor, silly looking (but easy to fix) problem with gdb that I reported earlier this week, see http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=6353+0+current/freebsd-qa Otherwise this looks like a very solid release. I'll try to do a few installations on other hardware tomorrow. Anyhow, congratulations and keep up the good work !
