There is always -STABLE. It's about to feature the 4.9 release. 5.x is still -CURRENT. > should I bother with cvsuping? cvsup is a great way to get updates. > I have always followed the stable track.. So why install a -CURRENT snapshot [aka. "New Technology Release"]? FWIW, 5.x will become -STABLE quite soon, so you may want to stick with it through the transition. As always, see the web site for release details[1]. [1] http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
