I want to start using SMP.

I remember reading a discussion of branches, but, did not
save it and cannot find it on the site.  It is there, I just
cannot find it.

Looking at the FAQ and searching the site left me confused.
One page seems to indicate that -current is actually 3.0.
Another page leaves me with the impression that -current is
actually a continuation of 2.2.2(??).

I looked at http://www.freebsd.org/index-site.html.  This refers
to a 3.0-current branch.  Is this what I get with cvsup, 'tag=.'?

So, given all this, what is:
(1) FreeBSD-current, as relates to SMP?
(2) FreeBSD-stable, as relates to SMP?
(3) 3.0-970618-SNAP, assuming this is not a continuation of -stable.

I am running 2.2.2.  I have not used cvsup before, so, I need the
tree.  Should I use tag=. to get the tree?   Will I get SMP
support with this version?

What cvsup tag do I use for 3.0-970618-SNAP?
