You read, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/ \ handbook/current-stable.html Under, "20.2.2.3 Using FreeBSD-STABLE" Which states, "Join the FreeBSD-stable mailing list <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org>. This will keep you informed of build-dependencies that may appear in FreeBSD-STABLE or any other issues requiring special attention." Upon reading this, you tracked -stable for awhile and after seeing there weren't known problems with your intended architecture (possibly utilizing list archives as well) proceeded with your install. Correct? > Now I am told that sysadmins should extensively test stable to > make sure it is stable. My conclusions: <snip> My conclusion (sorry, no offense!): "More people should learn how to read past a 3rd-grade level."
