Here's what *I* think (fwiw) snapshots are about, in no particular order... - Snaps serve as a starting point if you *really* want to follow -current (as in compiling latest stuff in the tree, testing patches, etc). - Snaps are an easy way to *kinda* follow -current without following -current. ;-) Here's what *I* think snapshots are NOT... - Mini -release, with all the goodies you've come to expect from *real* releases. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
