Hello all, I started using FreeBSD about a week ago, and I really like the system. Have been using Linux for the last few years. One noob question though, according to the Handbook on Packages and Ports, I can use packages for either RELEASE, STABLE, or CURRENT. How exactly would this compare to Linux? Is it that CURRENT is like Fedora(bleeding-edge and somewhat unstable), and STABLE is like RedHat Enterprise Linux (older versions of software, but very stable)? Which one should I use? I am currently using RELEASE. I am not looking for bleeding edge. I'm after stability. Kind regards, Coert
