I just finished rebuilding my system to start tracking 9.2-STABLE. The reason for this was originally to get Kernel Mode Setting features so that my Intel graphics card would work properly (or better) under X.Org. I have not set up X as yet and even think that KMS might still be a work in progress as I read somewhere that once there has been a switch to X, it is still not yet possible to switch back to the console. This may well have been fixed by now, but I will soon find out.
I was just surprised at how much better visually the STABLE development version looks. There is even nice colour text when the booting messages appear! The default font looks a lot better on my 17" widescreen laptop than in the RELEASE version. It is looking very encouraging.
I am looking forward to seeing 10-RELEASE with fully functioning PKGNG repositories and other great stuff. But I have lots of exploring to do around this development version to keep me occupied for a very long time.
Keep up the good work FreeBSD developers!
