Uh all other OS's I know of use these same terms -- Beta is right before a release, during a time annoying bugs can be fixed. Release Candidate is pretty self-explanatory, nor did we invent it. So maybe you should have said something to the effect that even though 100% of the OSs today have "Betas" the 99% of the user population is totally clueless as to these words meanings. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
