I am. The latest 2.7/x86-64 DragonFly versions are now generally quite stable. There are still some quirks left, howewer. Generally, the longer the system stays running, the longer it becomes unstable. Short list: - Seamonkey fails to load web sites on slow servers and spins with 100% CPU. State in top is shown as 'kqread'. Using my ISP proxy makes this behaviour disapear. - Some programs dump core from time to time (uptime dependant) This evening, this is the turn of dosbox. It fails with this message: assertion: z->z_Magic == ZALLOC_SLAB_MAGIC in _slabfree - After a few hours of uptime, keyboard leds always stay off under Xorg even though caps lock/num lock/etc can still change state. The most troublesome stuff is due to a bug in pkgsrc devel/gettext-lib. There's a patch to fix it in my bug report: http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=43879 Apart from the gettexti-lib related crashes, 2.6/x86-64 does not have these issues. -- Francois Tigeot
