RELEASE is the tested and vetted final product. STABLE is just a snapshot of work in progress. Of course, RELEASE is also a snapshot, but it is frosen, tested, ports brought up to snuff, etc and then released. STABLE is just CURRENT in kind of reliable condition. Install RELEASE and then CVSUP to *default tag=RELENG_6_2 or possibly *default tag=RELENG_6 to keep up to date with security patches. ////jerry > > Best regards, > Andreas > _______________________________________________ > 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"
