Is there a list anywhere of tests that are required? and what is the process of reporting bugs?

Updating to BETA5 (and reporting any problems you encounter) will help to test the release, thus making it better for everyone. Kris pgp2pMcVhFnzZ.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: 5.3 stable when?
I just finishing installing 5.3. I was going to compose an email saying how well it worked for me. Appending to this thread seems applicable. I have a 9 year old Dell Inspiron 7500. With 5.1 and 5.2 I had issues with the ACPI (Intel's gift to the work, I am told) and the ep driver, so I had to drop back to 4.10 I just reinstalled a 5.2 CD and cvsup'd to RELENG_5. Everything worked like a charm. All ACPI errors were handled and even the ep driver worked. 5.3 may or may not be ready for production servers but it is ready for prime time as a workstation. I am not sure where Kris found such ancient hardware to test on, but thanks. I hope to keep using this thing until 64 bit processors become cheap. On Tue, 21 Sep 2004, Kevin D.

I'm no authority, but I don't see that it matters much unless you're having problems with BETA1. I have some test machines that are running 5.3, so I compile/install weekly with each BETA release. If you're using the system for any "real" work, you may want to just wait (unless, as I've said, you're having specific problems).
