I've read quite a bit about freebsd-current and freebsd-stable, but uname -v show's I have freebsd 4.4 -RELEASE #0. Where does the RELEASE version fit in the mix of the other two versions, and if I want to run the most reliable version of 4.4, which should I have? If I should be running something different than what I have, can anyone supply a link to the easiest way to change? I usually get lost half way though reading about how to upgrade/change on the locations I've read. thx, - Jim McIver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
