there shouldn't be many changes between RC2 and the final release
version. You can always update later.

You should not need the patches anymore for 9.x and 10.x.

I have had to do but this is some time ago.

It might crashes your system. You are not able to go back to X and you
only see a black screen. This is not an error but a feature.

Fun aside, this function was not implemented yet.

The ACPI errors might depend on your BIOS. I get an endless number of
ACPI errors during running X but they do not show any effect on my
machine.

50 degrees? Seems pretty low. My i7 goes up to 96 under full load. As
the CPU is made for 100 and I am in the tropics, I do not care much.
This should be true for your CPU too.
