X-BeenThere: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 07:18:54 -0000 [I sent the same message to usb-bsd@eleetbsd.org, but since that list seems not very active, I am asking here too] Hi all, the subject says it all. I am considering using FreeBSD for a robotics project, and I am thinking of using 4.x for stability. But, since we will probably use USB a lot, I am wondering if maybe 5.x is a better choice. Any ideas, besides the "compare the USB source between 4.x and 5.x" suggestion? ;-) thanks marco
