What I should have added. After 6.3 RELEASE, RELENG_6 becomes 6.3 STABLE. Then it will go through the release process again and become 6.4 PRERELEASE, RC & then RELEASE. 7.0 STABLE is RELENG_7 but that will go through the same process as 6.3 but with betas before pre-release and the rc's (I think) before RELENG_7_0 (7.0 RELEASE) is created and RELENG_7 goes back to being 7.0 STABLE until the release process for 7.1 kicks in. I think I've got it right now! But the definitive word is on the homesite. To answer your question though, 6.2 STABLE doesn't exist any longer. -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
