If the system isn't really too critical, I'd go for it. I'm running 5.0 in workstation use and had some problems with agp and X11 up until 5.0-RELEASE-p7, on which I haven't had a crash or freeze yet and all seems to be stable. I'm using scsi and ide on that machine. Apart from the agp/graphics/X11 problem and one (I think) related kernel panic I've experienced with < -p7, I've not seen any problems. IMHO it's stable enough for use in a relaxed production environment. The more people who engage in testing it, the more problems (also cutting edges in the userland) get ironed out, and the faster that will happen. --mkb _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
