Greetings,

FWIW, I download beta/gamma versions about once a month to test.  Those
that prove stable get my influx of current work for day to day use.  I
download the official version and move to it if it proves stable for my
uses until about the middle of the next beta cycle.

I also have a couple of friends that I pass the stable specialized images
on to about once a year.

A couple of other people I know pull the distribution for Windows and/or
Linux when I let them know there is an official upgrade.

Thanks again for a great place to think and learn,
