Sorry. I'll move off to the -chat and -newbies list.. One last thing that I would like to say. Again spoken purely as a consumer. NOT a developer of any sort, or a person that tracks any branch on a normal basis. When a person sees a CD/version that is labeled RELEASE. There is a tendency to assume that it is a stable, well tested system. I understand that most people that follow things closely understand the naming scheme, but it may be worth while for the team to consider people that aren't as guru about FreeBSD, but simply enjoy the stability. A name scheme more in tune with the thought process of conusmers instead of hackers and admins would go a long way towards ending the confusion of versions. -RELEASE well tested and stable for consumers -DEV in developement/testing for next RELEASE[B -HAK bleeding edge hacker version. Or what about alpha, beta, release Just my $00.02 Off to the -chat -newbies list.. Thank you.
