Hello everyone, All this talk about 4.4-Release, 4.3-Release, 4.2-Stable has got me wondering. I've read all the documentation on Current vs. Stable and so forth, but what I am confused about is this: Some people say that Stable is the way to go as it's made as "stable" as possible through testing of current/release versions. However when I read the info on freebsd.org, it says (http://www.ca.freebsd.org/handbook/current- stable.html): "..and it is particularly important that you do not update any production servers to FreeBSD-STABLE without first thoroughly testing the code in your development environment. If you do not have the resources to do this then we recommend that you run the most recent release of FreeBSD, and use the binary update mechanism to move from release to release." So I'm curious to get your opinions on FBSD and "production-only" servers. What version # and stable/release do you tend to use?
