Super- A novice user should _never_ run -CURRENT, as it's not guaranteed to be stable, or even compile, at any given time. That's not to say nobody should use -CURRENT, because of course we want people to use it to find bugs, but new users should stick with releases until they're comfortable enough with FreeBSD to move on. - Justin
