I'd love to but some of my hardware is not supported by 6.2. Audio chipset Sigmatel 9221 is not supported. My SATA controller had an issue on 6.2 (I wrote about that on the list: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-March/145701.html) and in the end I was advised to try -CURRENT. This is whar I did and was happy for a while. Sound and HDD are working perfectly, and performance is OK even with the debugging options enabled in kernel. But now I am left without OpenOffice (yes, there is another current thread here). I Guess it's time to switch to Google Docs for a while, until 7-RELEASE is out.. ;-) Thanks for comments. > > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html > > or a snapshot of 6-STABLE, which is updated > in a slow pace, for fixes or security holes. > > http://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/ > > Releases are considered to be the most stable. > Install 6.2-RELEASE and if you feel like updating > you can use freebsd-update. > > Keep in mind that all these new, old, released > or other, are relative to the operating system > itself and not the third party programs(packages, > ports) you'll be using(GNOME, firefox, etc).
