If you get a 'good' -current, it'll usually be fine, it's just that quite often you get one that's not so good, and then you end up with a machine that hangs or eats your filesystems (rare) or whatever. -current is good if you're working on FreeBSD, but if you're working on other things and want a stable platform to do your work on, -stable is a better bet. > % ShyOne | Mitayai % -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
