I'm still new to FreeBSD development, and not an authorative source for answers, but let me try to answer anyway =) At 21:53 4-2-01 -0500, John Telford wrote: >Hmm my timing for this topic seems right on :) >Since I ran out of disk space trying to update to -stable this afternoon >(now that's another topic for another day "Why so much space to keep up >with -stable, when /stand/sysinstall can do an inplace update ?") Because you're using source. Read the keeping -stable and -current part of the FAQ/handbook to determine if you want to or not. If I'm not mistaken there are also snapshots of either you can install like a normal release... >So should a throw another drive in this thing and go -stable or not ? If you're up to it. Remember -current is a development version and will break often and perform poorly a lot of the time. -stable should be a lot better but things might break unexpectedly. If you're running a non-vital server you can run -stable to help us find minor things that are wrong. If you're running a vital server stick to -RELEASE because that's basically -STABLE after a feature freeze and a code freeze (to allow for some heavy testing and bugfixes only). Personally I run -CURRENT on my laptop, -STABLE on my home gateway box and -RELEASE on servers at work. >What does MFC'd mean ? Merged From Current. Something is developed under -CURRENT and then merged back into -STABLE (usually) Hope that answers your questions.
