I hear you BJ! This last Sunday I walked into the local Borders Bookstore (Salem, Oregon) and was stunned to see the "Latest" (2.2.5) FreeBSD. I had given up on 2.2.2 because I just didn't know enough about Unix to get it going and the Documentation simply didn't cover what I needed. I decided to put it on hold until I got a second computer so I could dedicate one to FreeBSD. When I leafed through the new manual I couldn't believe how much better the documentation was!!! I got it installed and am studying the Networking/Internet chapters. I WILL get in on the internet with FreeBSD or die trying. One pleasant surprise is that it turns out that my current ISP (Oneworld.com, Portland, Oregon; Phone number on request) uses FreeBSD on some of their servers. Now three days later there's another Latest and Greatest. I think I'll stick to 2.2.5 until maybe 3.0.0 comes out. It is great to know that FreeBSD is alive and growing though!

Unfortunatly it came out like a day after I finished tweaking my fbsd box to how I like it. *sigh* I do not want to do that again! Whats the easiest way to upgrade my machine? What are the actual differences between the distributions?
