Hi After using FreeBSD for a month on a server, I thought of moving my desktop from debian unstable to freebsd (I've been using linux as my desktop for 7 years now, and it's time for a change... :) ). I'm wondering about what version to use. on debian it's very common to use unstable for the desktop (if you know that sometimes a package breaks) and it's very rare that the whole system breaks (I never seen that in the 2 years I'm using it). what's the status on freebsd? can I use CURRENT for my desktop without being afraid that it won't boot after an upgrade? the reason I want CURRENT is mostly hardware support (e.g. I have a SB!Live and I read that STABLE doesn't support it). thanx -- Haim
