It explains all your questions. 5.x is -current, 4.x is -stable. For at least 2 years we've had these trees available, with the stable branch only getting the bugfixes and part of the new stuff after it has been seriously put to the test. So there will be 4.1, there might be 4.2, dunno. And there will be development in the -current branch. There is no 5.0 release. It's just development. And if you call Linux more conservative for that... I seem to recall a thing about odd and even numbered kernel releases... > Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
