Well, if you grab STABLE now, you will get the 4.5 release candidates. Might wait until after 4.5-RELEASE to go to STABLE if you have waited this long. As for whether it is worth it, there have been a few security bug fixes, http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html Since then that might be good for you. In addition, there have been a number of performance tweaks that may or may not be noticable in your environment. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious." Crist J.
