I know they are available for download as -RELEASE (which always needs pathes) and -STABLE(which incorporates most of the patches up to a certain date). Are there -STABLE releases available on CD? I was just wondering, since I subscribed to Walnut Creeks's program. Or am I mistaken and does this dual release exist outside of the FTP environment? -- UNIX Rules!!!
