No. The two main branches are currently RELENG_4 (4.x-STABLE) and HEAD (aka 5.0-CURRENT). 4.0, 4.1, 4.1.1 and 4.2-RELEASE are all just periodic snapshots of the 4.x-STABLE branch. You can get the latest 4.x-STABLE sources in a number of ways - see the handbook section for more detail. > With this is mind, Which one would be more appropriate for a Web/PHP Server > on the Internet? The stable branch :) G "And then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train, comin' your way."
