I strongly suggest that you subscribe to freebsd-hackers on freefall.cdrom.com
if you want to be kept up-to-date on the desirability of using various
versions of FreeBSD.  For about 1 week, -current will be a bit iffy.  Many
changes have been added (and will be added) in the last few days.  Unless
you are adventursome, and you *really* want to upgrade, try FreeBSD V1.1
Beta and the upgrade after that to released code (when it becomes
available.)  I strongly suggest to follow the mailing lists if you are
running non-released versions of FreeBSD.
