IMHO, not until the Release Engineering team announces 5.X-STABLE. My personal opinion is that newcomers to FreeBSD should definitely start with a 4.X version. > - Is there any article related to the setup of a CVS server > with FreeBSD? Yes. Setting up a bare bones CVS server is easy. A lot of articles are available online. Some links that will get you started are: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ http://www.loria.fr/cgi-bin/molli/wilma.cgi/doc and of course, the CVS homepage: http://cvshome.org/ PS: Please set your mailer up so that it doesn't send HTML email to the FreeBSD lists. It's a complete waste of bandwidth. Plain ASCII email is sufficient most of the time.
