X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 22:46:25 -0000 can someone explain to me the difference here: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 vs FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE ..I wanted to track 5.3-STABLE, but when I did that I didnt get some of the newer files (still unknown why). I was especially interested in the SMP fixes. I was having random reboots and wanted to start with a fresh 5.3 install and then cvsup from there, but when I tracked STABLE, I didnt get some of the files that 5.3-REL tracking gave me. Am I missing something here? I dont want to be on BLEEDING edge, but on something more than 5.3-REL and yet stable. thanks - Jeff
