As I understand it, there's only one tag for this branch: RELENG_2_2 It seems the cvsup repository is updated a few times a day. What you'd get from cvsup versus the beta might be a little different or it might be identical. It's really a question of whether you want to do a make world and build the system yourself or whether you want to do an upgrade with binaries. If you use cvsup and get the sources, make sure /etc/group has a group called network before you start--if it doesn't add: network:*:69: Either approach requires some attention to /etc, especially if you're upgrading from 2.1.x and thus switching from /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf. If you have a custom kernel you probably have to recompile it in both cases.
