Just one word from an ordinary user - this is perfect idea to test things in the real world scenario in a dedicated environment because this will show problems and force solutions very quickly. Some more serious tasks may be also a good playground to test stability of the stable branch and make sure they will not propagate issues to the production stable platforms around the world. I really love FreeBSD for the clean, simple and elegant yet still very powerful solutions. Some features are still behind, some features are pioneer, still smart and experienced personnel decisions behind the scenes produces impressive results. I am sure this is also a good decision. This is why I stick and promote the FreeBSD, although some people don't like it, and I even consider to switch to CURRENT in everyday tasks too if this will help your work with necessary feedback :-) Best regards :-) Tomek Cedro -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
