No, after you install a Release version (for exemple you burn a ISO and install FreeBSD 6.2) you can Make classics update to fix security problem but you don't want new features (typicaly on a sever) --> You use RELENG_6_2 You want use Stable version. That's mean some new features, but not big difference (like kernel difference) etc... (typicaly you home-pc if you're some power-user and you like have new version every day ;-)) ) --> You use RELENG_6 > > What state of "usability" have just now FreBSD 7.0 CURRENT?. Can i do the > upgrade using csup?. if you want participate (event just like for make test and make report) you can use HEAD. I'm never use -current not because the "usability" (I don't known...I never use it), but because all my computer need to be run perfectly (lots of server etc.) I can say the with STABLE (RELENG_6 actually) during 5 years the're one time it's don't work (pb with nic) but one day later after a new cycle (cvsup build-world etc.) everthing work fine. > > Thanks very much, in advance.
