Howdy, I would have lucked out if it wasn't reliable :-) If you do all the right things, such as follow the commit logs and test, test, test, you can get a snapshot of current that will prove reliable for a certain number of tasks. It had three months of testing before going into production, so I didn't get any rude shocks, nor was I risking my job. Everyone was aware of the potential for instability and the fallback was to run the apps on a 4.x release or stable. I needed proof by example that FreeBSD development code was just as capable - if not more - as commercial OS releases. I have that well and truly now :-) I liked riding the edge of insanity years ago. I've fallen over the edge since then :-) Regards, Chris Knight Systems Administrator AIMS Independent Computer Professionals Tel: +61 3 6334 6664 Fax: +61 3 6331 7032 Mob: +61 419 528 795 Web: http://www.aims.com.au > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Bryant [mailto:kc5vdj@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, 11 April 2002 14:35 > To: chris@aims.com.au > Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Current in Production > > > Do you own a Harley?
