This topic has been covered > *many* times. Just to save everyone some time, here is a quote from the handbook: This is still a development branch, however, and this means that at any given time, the sources for FreeBSD-STABLE may or may not be suitable for any particular purpose. It is simply another engineering development track, not a resource for end-users. ... For these reasons, we do not recommend that you blindly track FreeBSD-STABLE, and it is particularly important that you do not update any production servers to FreeBSD-STABLE without first thoroughly testing the code in your development environment. If you do not have the resources to do this then we recommend that you run the most recent release of FreeBSD, and use the binary update mechanism to move from release to release. <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html>; Best Regards, -jj -- o*s*o*pho*bi*a n.
