How necessary is it update from 3.3 until, say, 4.0?( Save for > must have feature :)) OK. There are two streams in FreeBSD. There's -STABLE which is what most people follow. This is, as its name implies, the one to go for if you want "Rock Stable Performance!" (tm). 4.0 is the -CURRENT stream which is where developers fear to tread. You want the 3.4-STABLE one. Actually, you more than likely installed 3.3-RELEASE, which is just a snapshot of the development of 3.x-STABLE. > I use the machine as a single user desktop machine. Is seting up CTM worth > it?

Sure, but cvsup is good fun! best; gjvc -- [gjvc] 4.4BSD 4.ever! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
