I've been watching the -current mailing list for a while now, and what I currently see is that -CURRENT has a few niggling outstanding problems (especially on older hardware), and a few pretty major outstanding problems. My guess is that it won't be "stable" enough for what I consider to be production use until it hits 4.2 or perhaps even 4.3. Until then, I'll be glad to use the latest "stable" version of 3.x. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
