I started using current a couple months ago, I just rebuilt the big three (world, XFree86, mozilla) last week after the latest gcc import. Speed difference with 4-STABLE on a PIII 866 is not very noticable. If I was reading the threads correctly they trace the X crashes back to a floating point error. I hear kde is broken, mozilla compiled cleanly so some gtk stuff is OK. (Sorry I don't use the full gnome suite either). I lost a filesystem on my current disk a month ago so make sure you use current on another disk. --clark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
