Yeah, and you KNOW I'll be downloading that soon.  I just want to wait for the downloads to calm down ... plus, from early reports, I heard it's not ready for any production use.

Oh well though, I just wanna develop on the bad boy  :-P  ;-)  :-)  :-o  :-D

Don't worry. Slashdot probably just jumped the gun again :-)

My bad! I guess slashdot didn't jump the gun this time.
