It indicates the ABI is (generally) stable (ABI-compatibility is maintained within a branch). There are exceptions, but this generally holds true. That said, -RELEASE is a better idea for a production system, unless you have some dire need for a feature/enhancement in -STABLE. You can read more about the FreeBSD release engineering process here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html Regards, Josh
