Let me just make one salient observation about this whole thread. > My point -- and I think, Micheal's, is that a truly stable CD would > raise FreeBSD far above the run of the mill Unices -- commercial or > otherwise. The stability, or otherwise, of the CD releases is *entirely* in the hands of the user community. Previous releases have experimented with protracted BETA and GAMMA stages. Others have adopted the "everything's quiet, lets do it Right Now" attitude. In every single case, people have only ever complained about problems _after_ the release is cast in stone. The temptation is very strong to simply ignore this sort of complaint - the gate is closed, the horse long gone. If you want a stable release, then I cannot stress this strongly enough - GET INVOLVED NOW! The only people that you can blame for an unstable release are yourselves. We'd love to fix it, but we can't read your minds. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
