RELENG_6 will give you the latest from the 6.x-STABLE development branch.= =20 According to: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh?rev=3D1.69.= 2.21;content-type=3Dtext%2Fx-cvsweb-markup;only_with_tag=3DRELENG_6 this will call itself 6.4-STABLE. It will have all of the same=20 security/errata patches as the 6.4-RELEASE branch plus any development wo= rk that=20 has been done on 6.x (which will have been pretty minimal lately since th= e focus is now on 9-CURRENT / 8-STABLE) There's not a lot of differences between= =20 RELENG_6 and RELENG_6_4 nowadays. The fact that you aren't seeing your version reported as 6.4-STABLE indic= ates=20 something went wrong with your upgrade process and you haven't actually b= ooted your system from an updated kernel. > Next question is if i don't get updates with freebsd-update when i have= > a stable version? I have the problem with two machines (6.3 and 6.4).

That is equivalent to RELENG_6_3 or RELENG_6_4 in your cases. However 6.3-RELEASE is due to go= out of support on the 31st January (http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.= html) so now would be a good time to think about upgrading.
