There are two main branches of development for the operating system itself, and each has it's own mailing list. The "bleeding-edge" development happens in the branch known as freebsd-current, while the more-tested branch is called freebsd-stable. And there's a mailing list for each of those. The freebsd-hackers mailing list is another busy mailing list which covers a lot of other issues about programming on FreeBSD. Almost all of the mailing lists which you see listed on the above web page are related to *some* aspect of freebsd development. Which mailing list you would like depends on what kind of development you are interested in. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
