If you want to stay current then you are going to want the 3.1 release, if you'd like to stick with the 2.2.x line, you should update to 2.2.8. This is the last 2.2x release and, to my understanding is being kept up to date as far as security holes and massive bugs are concerned. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: rdkeys@unity.ncsu.edu [SMTP:rdkeys@unity.ncsu.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 1:07 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: FBSD 2.2.6 --- any good still for server use? > > I was wondering how good FBSD 2.2.6 was relatively for server use, still. > I have a couple of sets left from the dumping a few months back. > Are there any specific reasons it should not be used on an open server? > I have been running it on the home net and it seems fine, but that is > a closed net, and I don't want to use 2.2.6 if any serious holes remain > in it for our university web servers.
