correct on 5.3 being the current release.  I find it quite stable.  I
have not crashed or locked or anything on any desktops/servers I have
installed it on.  This doesn't hold with my laptop, but the one crash
that I got was due (I think) to X rather than fBSD itself.  In general
when fBSD declares something STABLE for a release, they mean it.
