I run my own machine off -current, have been doing so for months now, and it's hardly an idle machine given the number of release builds and other crap I run on it. It's been a less painful -current than many a -current I could think of in the past, that's for sure. :) > 2. Our architecture is *highly* dependent on NFS.

Anyone else looking for -stable relative NFS patches to test should send Matt Dillon or I some email and we'll provide you with the diffs if you'll provide us with the testing. :) > 3.

I think SMP is pretty good in either branch, though Luoqi and Alan have been working to improve it in -current lately. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
