What the 2.2 branch gets called when 3.x is finally -Stable is also up in the air. > Mainly what I want to do is install 3.0-beta and keep up with the 3.0.x > tree from there, preferably a the stable version if possible. Any ideas on > how/where -stable is going to go? 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.
