However, parallel construction with the FreeBSD section would suggest there be a section "What is FreeBSD-STABLE not?". Also, in the section "Using FreeBSD-STABLE", it has the following: If you are installing a new system and want it to be as stable as possible, you can simply grab the latest dated branch snapshot from ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ and install it like any other release. I would prefer: If you are installing a new system from the FreeBSD-STABLE branch, you can simply grab the latest dated branch snapshot from ftp://releng4.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ and install it like a release. This both avoids the claim that the snapshot de jour is "stable as possible" and implication that the snapshot itself is a release. -ahd- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jordan Hubbard" To: Cc: ; Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 6:33 PM Subject: OK, OK, THE HANDBOOK IS FIXED ALREADY [was Re: is "stable" "stable"?] > Guys, guys, the handbook has been fixed!
