There can be many definitions of "staying on the bleeding edge". One is: using software to be active, creative and productive with *your own projects* that perhaps nobody else knows about, until you release it for everyone to see and (sometimes) use. Using the latest releases of everything, including hardware components, is something some people take pride in. But often this is actually something that one shouldn't do because it is an obstacle to the own activity which benefits from reliable, familiar tools. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
