Should we > go and tell others or is it too early yet? Its was considered stable as soon as the uname output was sent out :) Any additions done are done in such a way that it shouldn't break the previous ones, and are add-ons, not core ... so even someone still running an *old* (now!) v1.0 script won't have any problems, it just means devices reports are sent out for them yet until they upgrade to v2.0 ... So, yes, defintely ... tell anyone and everyone that is running a *BSD system ... I'm having talks with Matt @ DragonflyBSD for one addition he'd like to see added to make sure that the script checks for network connectivity before trying to send its reports, after which he's planning on adding it to Dragonfly's base system install ... but, again, that won't affect older versions ... ---- Marc G.
