I don't think it's a good idea to let what you see on a mailing list be your end all be all of what you use... This isn't an insult or anything, but I've seen some pretty damn stupid people who try to install stuff into Swap And that isn't even close to the stupidest thing I've ever seen on a list. Trust me, the best way to figure out of you personally would benefit from upgrading, is doing it yourself. I use and read these lists, and I admit, sometimes, it's for entertainment value, but again, I've also received more than my share of help from people who DO know WTF they're doing. It doesn't cost you more than a CD or DVD, so why not just download 9 and try it out? I have every version of FreeBSD I've ever downloaded, or paid for, starting with 4.0 back in 2000 or so, and I am now running 9.0 on my main FreeBSD machine, and PC-BSD 8.2 on a Desktop, and PC-BSD 9 on my Laptop. I've had NO issues with any of them. So for whatever it's worth to you; I am using FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE, and I like it. -Allen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

For kicks i'm merging updated gnu and gpl software (that's been frozen since GPLv3 hit) into 10 src (ie /usr/src/gnu and /usr/src/contrib) just to see what kind of trouble it will cause.

If it works don't break it :) I don't use 9.0 on production server, but as far I can see on my desktops (at home and at work) that works fine (with USF2 journal and ZFS).

Re: Is it worthy upgrading to 9.0 ?
Hi, I cannot tell how often I have said this already. I stay with the even branches until the next even branch comes out. Currently, the machine here runs 8.3 and will stick to 8 until 10.0 or 10.1 will arrive at the scene. But for technical reasons, I have left one machine on 7 after the upgrade from 6 to 8 failed. It is a very old machine and some hardware support got dropped.
