Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just a few questions before I dive into -current, that didn't seem 100% answered by the FAQ :) : 1. If I install -current, will I have to do 'make worlds' or other 6 hour CPU tasks often? 2. Will my system more often than not be able to boot and run most of the time? i.e. I have one computer, I don't mind constant reboots, even making my own code patches if necessary, but if this is something it's almost necessary to have two machines for, please tell me! 3. Where can I get a list of new features available in 3.0-current ?? Please pardon me if I have asked common questions, however I have done my best to find answers to these *nagging* questions, and haven't found all the assurance I need :) invis invis@visi.com
