Hi The cvs tags is a little different from what you have stated: RELENG_4 is STABLE for the 4.X branch, including NEW development RELENG_4_8 is "STABLE" for the 4.8 branch, only security fixes added=20 RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE will give you the sources of the original 4.8 release. Thus, I would suggest tracking RELENG_4_8 for your purposes. For more info, read FreeBSD Handbook, Appendix A.7 Hope it Helps Peut Kotze -----Original Message----- From: Dick Hoogendijk [mailto:dick@nagual.st] Sent: 22 April 2003 04:11 To: freebsd-questions Subject: fbsd server version question I want to replace my linux debian woody server at home for a FreeBSD-4.8 server. It'll be on the net 24/7 What's best: FreeBSD-4.8.RELEASE (RELENG_4_8) or should I track (cvsup) FreeBSD-4.8.STABLE (RELENG_4) ? The latter gives me security patches, but will it really be stable? --=20 dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.8 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
