For most environments there is room to staging it, from test and developer boxes upwards to production. At the moment I am running FreeBSD 9 on some developer boxes, Nagios monitoring and others. It works without problems even if I am using VIMAGE which is still an experimental feature. Sooner or later I will install it on other more relevant production machines. Don't worry, it isn't that bad;-) If I can have one wish from the engineering team: please keep the schedule up to date. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/schedule.html isn't showing the release yet, http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/9.0TODO was also quite behind. Maybe one web page is enough.. Thanks Peter
