I run it on my laptop and it is very nice.  It does seem quicker but as
stability was never a problem before I can't comment on stabilty
improvments ;-)

I can say I have had problems compiling it on sparc64 and DJ (from
SWLug) can't get it working on sparc32 so it is only better if you have
commonly used hardware or need new i386 device drivers other platforms
YMMV as usual.

Give it a go as long as you keep a bootable kernel in your config you
shouldn't have too many problems.
