It will be a LONG TIME before 3.0 is stable OR -Stable.

There will eventually be a 3.0-Stable and a 3.x-Current (or maybe a
4.x-Current), but don't count on that any time soon. What the 2.2 branch
gets called when 3.x is finally -Stable is also up in the air.

What's your level of experience with freebsd? You may be better off
sticking with 2.2 until 3.x goes -Stable. At minimum you should
subscribe to the freebsd-current and cvs-all lists and read them for a
couple weeks before you make your decision.
Good luck,
Doug
