I think that people should stick with 3.x unless there is something in -current that they really need such as the fixed NFS. current's core is very solid now and getting better, but a lot of the peripheral stuff has undergone rapid change. The new bus structure, the new compiler, the kernel build setup, configuration changes, and so forth. It's hard to keep up with it. I expect it will settle down in the next month or so. Most of the bug fixes have been backported to -stable. Getting the new VM system into -stable ( which I want to do just after the 3.2 release ) is going to require brute force, though. Unfortunately, the most recent fixes to NFS fall into that category so NFS-centric installations may need to use -current. :To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org :with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message : -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
