I am wondering whether or not it will help to use 5.0-CURRENT instead of 4.5-STABLE as I am now - is there any new features in 5.0 which could make life with a laptop better or easier? In particular I am thinking of features like: - being able to fetch the battery status - after being in standby mode, sound will still work - a remote possibility for my wireless NIC to work again Thanks!
