Regarding your explaination, I do understand this. It's often mentioned that x.0 releases aren't "that good". But allow me a follow-up question: Is 8.0-RC1 already recommendable for a home desktop, or would 7.2 be the version of choice? I'm asking this because of the many improvements especially the USB subsystem has gotten in 8 which would be important for the "plug and play experience" for USB devices... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
