How long do you think the 4.x series will be supported? There's a 4.9 scheduled for release later this year / early next year. 4-STABLE will be around until 5.x is deemed ready for everyday, production use and a 5-STABLE branch is created. This is tentatively scheduled for 5.2, but may be pushed back to 5.3 is need be. Thus, there might be a 4.10 and possibly even a 4.11. There's a nifty timetable of releases available in the Release Engineering section of the FreeBSD website. Have a gander through that for more info. -- Freddie Cash District HelpDesk / Network Admin fcash@sd73.bc.ca helpdesk@sd73.bc.ca (250) 374-0679 ext. 219
