Well, it SAYS that it's beta. I still don't recommend anyone using beta

a "production machine"...the beta build numbers usually have something
"less than" the
actual final version number...hence the 3.2.99 major...and the .2 for
(beta 2)

For example, current version of LibreOffice is called 3.3.0beta2 on
the website. Yet, when I open "About LibreOffice", I see
LibreOffice3.3.0 -- OOO330m9 (Build:1) libreoffice-build 3.2.99.2.
Nothing tells me whether I have the final version, a preliminary
version, a nightly build or...
I know I am able to find the proper information, but think about my
mother, or think about me, when I want to update my colleagues'
computers and can't easily see what version they have.
