Hi All

Could anyone tell me the difference between 'stable' and 'release'?
I've only recently realised that there's a difference...  :P

And I heard that 5.0-release is due out this month....maybe I should
hold off updating my sources and just install 5.0-release...

Ah...my system is a mess...

Regards
Alex Wang
