Cool! I really would like to beta test this. I have to say I have a really good "field reference platform" by which to battle test Applix. If Applix can stay unbroke here it must be good. :) >> 3.0 _is_ RELEASE. Maybe we should treat it as such. I get the feeling the >> 3.0-RELEASE is the redheaded step child of the FreeBSD world.

I knew what I was in for when I decided to get rid of aout. Actually it went smoothly, but time consuming as I updated about 40 ports including X. For me, it is faster if I rearrange the bits on my kitchen table and the pour them into the machine with a funnel. I was just quipping about the release cum stable cum current status of 3.0 more than anything. I actually I really quite like 3.0. I am still working on cleaning out etc properly (what's this "periodic" thingy doing here?). I don't know what you guys did but my kernel build times went from 30 minutes to 2 minutes. That's a plus any way I look at it as I often play with scrap hardware that floats around campus. You would be amazed at the stuff people throw away. I even have an Intel PCI network card.
