This is a binary snapshot of &os; &release.current;, the &release.branch; branch that is currently moving towards &release.next;. Feedback or offers to help with anything you see in this release are most welcome and should be sent to one of the appropriate mailing lists, as listed in . This release is aimed primarily at early-adopters and the various other folks who want to get involved with the ongoing development of &os; and are willing to deal with a few bumps in the road. We do our best to ensure that each snapshot works as advertised, but tracking -CURRENT is a process which frequently has its off days. If you're both technically proficient and know exactly what you're getting into here (e.g. you've been following -CURRENT) then this snapshot is probably for you. If you're more interested in doing business with &os; than in playing with the cutting edge of technology, however, then 3.x or 4.x is almost certainly your best bet. If you're a developer/hobbiest and not interested in QA'd releases so much as simply keeping up to date on the latest &os; technology, you can also install one of our snapshot releases. A number of other files provide more specific information about this distribution. README.TXT: This file, which gives some general information about &os; as well as some cursory notes about installation.. RELNOTES.TXT: The release notes, showing what's new and different in &os; &release.current; compared to &os; &release.prev;. HARDWARE.TXT: The hardware compatability list, showing devices with which &os; has been tested and is known to work. ERRATA.TXT: Release errata. Late-breaking, post-release information can be found in this file. Read this file! It will tell you where to look for the latest information on problems which have been found and fixed since this release was created (and may bite you). Most information is also available from the Documentation menu during installation.
