I find that most people who are asking this are unfamiliar with what the ``STABLE'' branch is -- a live development branch where code is merged to stablize once it has proven its ``test of time'' from CURRENT. It's not necessarily the most stable code, security wise. You should track -RELEASE plus security patches for a ``stable'' system in that sense. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html for a more detailed explination. --Devon
