Time for me to ask a stupid newbie FreeBSD question...
I see source for FreeBSD-stable, but no binaries. So, stable is just
like current, except more stable and less current? ;-)
What I mean is, you don't have ready-made binary tarballs, and
ready-to-go installation tools? Is it a simple matter to just build
stable sources on a 2.1.0-release system? (I know if you get too far
out of sync with NetBSD-current, it can be almost impossible to build
current on a previous release.)
Is this a FAQ? Is asking "is this a FAQ?" a FAQ? Does Mel Torme
really drink Mountain Dew?
Thanks for educating me on all that is FreeBSD-stable...
