Something like Pekwm or Sylpheed or Darkplaces, these are people who've been coding since they were 12. So, subsequently, their code is very stable and reliable. I never have problems with *any* of the CVS versions that I use. I have more problems with some contrib rpms than I do CVS. For example, mplayer crashes every once in awhile, and don't even get me started on Gimp, crashes every third or fourth time I use it. And there's never any risk of damage to my system that I've ever seen or experienced of heard of on any of the devel lists I subscribe to. I would say the difficulty and risk of running alpha software is relative to the coder, but is vastly overstated in general. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 See where I sit all day: http://nodex.sytes.net 08:28:53 up 1 day, 21:51, 4 users, load average: 0.16, 0.04, 0.01
