nico: >Je voudrais savoir si je dois installer une version STABLE ou RELEASE. > Quelle est la différence? > Pouvez-vous me conseiller entre la freebsd 5.1 ou 4.8 ? 4.x-RELEASE is essentially a snapshot of 4.x-STABLE, with a given x. 4.x-RELEASEs receive security updates only. 4.x-STABLE is the "working version" that receives all fixes and enhancements. 5.x is CURRENT, not necessarily guaranteed to offer production-grade stability. CURRENT is the main development branch. Again, there are 5.x-RELEASEs, taken as snapshots from CURRENT. There is no 5.x-STABLE yet. Probably, since you ask, 4.9-RELEASE is what you want to start with. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/ Helge
