When I started using -current, I had only about four months FreeBSD experience (started using FreeBSD in about May, -current in about September), but I haven't had any major problems with it. Yes, it's crashed a few times, but I realise that's to be expected when using -current, and I don't come on this list and act like a prat when it does crash. (And I've got no more Unix experience than I have FreeBSD experience.) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
