I seem to recall from another mailing list that -stable would stay in the 2.2 branch until first quarter next year. (End of the first quarter? I don't know. Maybe someone else on the list knows better). > The best option, IMHO, is to buy the cd. Now, there's a few ways to do > this.

There, its just a few dollars. I recomend > having a book.. I'm trying without one, and its a pain. The book is on the CD in plain text format (ie. unreadable :) ). Look in the "book" directory on the first disk (for 2.2.6. It might be another disk for other versions). > I'm waiting for a > new version of the Complete FreeBSD, since fbsd v3.0 is supposed to be a > major change.
