You might as well add me to the list. :-) Fortune has graced me with a little box that I can play with and I have a nice brand new 2.2.5-RELEASE installation on it, but I want to go -stable. I'll fully back up William on this. There are several instances where I have searched the archives looking for varying types of information. In most cases I either found what I was looking for or at least had a direction to go. I do not think of the archives as a good resource of caveats, however. I have 2.2.5-RELEASE on my box for about three days and I have jumped in to the -stable mailing list trying to get a grasp of what the issues are and what might bite me. I am all for reading first and building later, but if there is any way there can be a list of some type, a log, something that anyone can look at after synching up their source tree and see that "if you are not aware of this particular detail, before you 'make world', it's going to getcha." I have the fortune of my box not being mission critical. So if I try something and it dies, I can pick up the pieces and even start over being that much the wiser. But to have a resource of the type that William, perhaps others, and I have described, would be invaluable, if feasible. Irregardless, sta...@freebsd.org is still a joy to read.
- Richard.

I'll second this.
I'm running a home machine and a couple at work with 2.2.5-stable -- excuse me, it's 2.2.6-beta now -- and I'm trying to follow the -stable mailing list, but there's enough there that one can easily miss something. It would be nice if there was a web-page and/or ftp-file that contained a summary of current errata, need-to-know and don't-forget information, and even just useful notes, that contained the current state of needed information. I mean, the mailing list is good for ongoing discussions about things, but its just not very good as a reference. _I'd_ use such a page. I'm trying to be a knowledgeble -stable user, but inevitably, something will go by in a discussion that I don't particularly pay attention to at the time, and then I get bitten by it later....
