says

  If you haven't installed yet, look for the latest mainstream release.

and 'latest mainstream release' links to

	http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/announce.html

so it looks like 3.4 is the 'latest mainstream release'.

most of the rest of the doc i've read is consistent with 3.4
being the release that a newbie should install, but there have
been some minor potential inconsistencies (hence this post).
for example, one page (http://www.freebsd.org/where.html)
linked to 3.3 stuff. (i found this page via the search engine,
so maybe it's not linked in anymore by current doc and should
be ignored?). furthermore, comments on the current-stable
handbook page, plus a reasonable plain english interpretation
'latest mainstream release', make me wonder if 4.0 might qualify.

so, is 3.4 the 'latest mainstream release'?
