I'd rather not get into a long discussion about this, but the above reflects a perception that I do not share, for the simple reason that I track FreeBSD stable/8, stable/9, and head daily on my laptop. And since each of these is an "in-place" source upgrade, I reboot to get into each of those environments. And since I actually track stable/9 twice (one slice has stable/9 built with gcc; the other with clang) -- well, my mornings tend to be busy. (Just installing the stable/8 freshly-built kernel as I type.) In addition, I normally power the laptop off when I put it in my backpack & cycle to or from the train station. (Well, if I'm running stable/9 or head at the time, I can suspend it & resume once I've arrived.) Granted, neither of the above may be especially common, but "diversity [in this case, of experience] is a wonderful thing." Let us not assume that others' experiences and perceptions are limited to our own -- please? :-) Peace, david -- David H.
