If I remember = right, the odd numbers are a little bit more experimental compared to the e= ven numbers. For myself, I try to stick with even numbers whenever possible= . If I install FreeBSD on a serious machine, I never use x.0. It must be at= least x.1. There's no such odd/even number policy with FreeBSD-- I think you're thinking of another OS ;) You're right that x.0 is slightly more experimental in general though (by its nature, it must be). Chris
