I have some questions about its performance: 1) How is the speed compared to stable? I remember it being just too slow some months ago and was wondering how it was improving. 2) Are the random hangs in X fixed yet? I can put up with a few issues (it is current, after all), but that's just too much to bear. 3) Are there any Very Important Packages (mozilla, kde, &c) that won't build or refuse to work right? - @ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
