Damned straight.  The 24 hour turnaround is great. 2.2.7 has been working
fine on my machine (as has the biweekly 2.2-STABLE versions that I've been
building.)

Great job by the release engineering team, core team and hopefully
we'll get the publicity and recognition we deserve.

As soon as the CD hits me here it's update the office web servers
(currently running 2.2.5).

Also, congrats on an install that's so easy my cats can do it.
FreeBSD is by FAR easier to install and configure than Linux, SCO (Unixware
and Open Server).
(Which Linux versions -- I've used Red Hat and SLS and Slackware Linux).

Nice job guys.

Bill
