I am curious as to what sort of experience would lead to a comment about
10.0 and stability. Did you install in on a machine and have a hard
time with hardware? I love Slack; I use it on a number of hosts and
have never had any non-user-error issues with it minus one (NIC just
wouldn't work). I am in no way looking for a religious debate just
really curious about your experience.
