I´ve always had the habit of installing the newest -STABLE, whenever I install a new BSD, but I think that often, i encounter more problemt with the -STABLE than with -RELEASE Can this really be true??? I feel like -STABLE is updated so fast, that noone has time to test the problems their correct. So, If I want a stable system, should I then install fx 3.3-RELEASE instead of 3.3-STABLE, and only upgrade if I have a specific advantage of the -STABLE branch?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\/\orten $eeberg, Systems Consultant @ Merkantildata - Enterprise Solutions #echo 'System Administrators suck :)' > /dev/console To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
