	I've been watching the -current mailing list for a while now, and 
what I currently see is that -CURRENT has a few niggling outstanding 
problems (especially on older hardware), and a few pretty major 
outstanding problems.

	My guess is that it won't be "stable" enough for what I consider 
to be production use until it hits 4.2 or perhaps even 4.3.  Until 
then, I'll be glad to use the latest "stable" version of 3.x.

  Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.
   Unix is very user-friendly.  It's just picky who its friends are.
