I currently have a couple of older machines, a P120 and a 486DX/33
happily running 3.4. Would you recommend installing 4.0-current on a
spare slice to verify whether it will run on these older machines or
should I wait until -current settles down, e.g. is more or less in a
bug-fix state?
Any other pitfalls one would need to consider prior to running this
kind of test?
