Nevertheless, 3.0 is generally stable (I did crash my 3.0 box with Xfree 3.3.3) - Some people are also using 3.0 on production servers. 3.0 gives you a better disk performance for IDE disks and generally uses more recent compilation tools (for example, MMX instructions should work under 3.0 - not sure of the status under 2.2.x) 3.0 is the branch where new things are tested (for example Linux kernel threads which are used by StarOffice 5.0) There should be a 3.0-Stable branch forking in the beginning of '99 TfH > hello > I thought 3.0 version is not still a snapshot and it had been > released so it is stable enough for using...am I wrong? > so why is it still called current? > > thanks > > +-------------------------------------------------+ > | Name : Evren Yurtesen - yurtesen@ispro.net.tr | > | S-mail: Talikkokatu 6B 26, 20540 Turku/FINLAND | > | Home:+358-2-2379095 Work:+358-40-5185215 | > +-------------------------------------------------+ > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
