Why the confusion?? 3.0 has been in Beta for one month and was schedules to be RELEASED today, but shouldn't be used for "production" machines until it has a STABLE branch AND you've verified thru your own testing that it is stable enough for your purposes. 2.2.8 is the last RELEASE of 2.2.X and is where the STABLE branch will lead. This RELEASE is for people that are running "production" servers, and can't afford to be on the BLEEDING edge. If you're running FreeBSD on a non-production machine (or non-critical), feel free to load 3.0 on it. But most of us will wait till it's been checked out for awhile by people that MUST have the functionality it provides. I'm anxious, but patient. If I am incorrect about any of this, I appreciate/prefer gentle corrections ;o) Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
