I enjoy beta testing emensely, but if you're going to do it you really need:
a) a totally seperate machine for beta testing, testing beta software on your primary rig is never a good idea.
and
b) to bare in mind that a beta release is exactly wht it implies, it is not finished, it's gonna be buggy as hell, it's gonna crash itself and your system.
However this is the whole point of beta testing, many companies depend on testers reports to resolve issues with certain hardware and software.
