I didn't mean to put down all the good work you people put into it. On the contrary, it is very much appreciated. I'm on the digest list of -current, so maybe that's part of the problem. Sometimes the digest doesn't appear for days. Maybe something can be configured so that it is sent out at least once a day. Or I should just subscribe to the non-digest list. I just scan the digest headers for things to watch out for. (Heads up, xxx broken, etc). FYI, I have a few other machines that need to be up 24/7, and they run -stable, and stable they are. Only my home toy runs -current, because I'm interested in SMP and the direction you guys are taking for FreeBSD. Best regards, Ben
