- <para>This &release.type; is aimed primarily at early adopters and
- various other users who want to get involved with the ongoing
- development of &os;. While the &os; development team tries its
- best to ensure that each &release.type; works as
- advertised, &release.branch; is very much a work-in-progress.</para>
-
- <para>The basic requirements for using this &release.type are
- technical proficiency with &os; and an understanding of the ongoing
- development process of &os; &release.current;

- <para>For those more interested
- in doing business with &os; than in experimenting with new &os;
- technology, formal releases (such as &release.prev;) are frequently more
- appropriate. Releases undergo a period of testing and quality
- assurance checking to ensure high reliability and dependability.</para>

- snapshots). It is important to consult this file before
