16.2. Who needs FreeBSD-stable?

If you are a commercial user or someone who puts maximum stability of their FreeBSD system before all other
concerns, you should consider tracking stable. This is especially true if you have installed the most recent release
(2.1.5-RELEASE at the time of this writing) since the stable branch is effectively a bug-fix stream relative to the
previous release.

Also, the link (2.1.5-RELEASE) does not exist according
to the WWW server.
>How-To-Repeat:
Check http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook225.html

>Fix:
Fix the page.  It may be wrong in other places too,
I didn't do an exhaustive search.

With all due respect and appreciation to the FreeBSD team,
these kind of problems make it very difficult for those
of us who are new, and trying to find our own answers.
