Both questions can be answered by looking at the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org. Read about "stable" and "current". This will both explain why there is a 2.2.8 and will help you decide which one you want to upgrade to. Briefly... 2.2.8 will be corrections and enhancements to features already existing in 2.2.7. 3.0 Will have functionality not available in 2.2.7 ---- francisco@natserv.com The power to serve. http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
