I'vew been using 1.5_ALPHA(2) and _BETA for some time on my machine
for a while and I'd say it's by far stable enough for a home machine.

I would probably not use it for an enterprise server, if only for the
boss's frowning looks upon seeing the "BETA" tag.

I haven't had a single crash with 1.5_BETA.

All my machines (Server, router, notebook, Amiga) run 1.5_BETA now. No
trouble.

I think for home use the advantages (SOFTDEP, LFS, more complete Linux
emulation) are worth it.
