I can't speak for most people, but I personally enjoy testing. It's not quite as stable as, well, stable, but I rarely encounter any significant errors. The benefit is that you get much newer versions of many of the packages. > If you had to pick a new sound card, which would you pick? I've had great luck with Ensoniq PCI (ES1371 chipset) cards.

I have a Diamond Multimedia (was "Supra" when I bought it - before DiamondMM bought Supra) SupraExpress 56e external. It's truly an outstanding performer. Along those lines, pretty much all external modems will work without any special effort. -- Kirk Strauser
