These are binary compilations (releases) with patches for problems. FreeBSD has been having problems getting Bug Free CDRoms out lately. I have the 2.2.5 CD and there are problems with it, although my 'low end' hardware has been stable. The 430TX(HX) is a good motherboard, you should have no problems. Another thing you should try is CVSUP. Install sources from your CDRom, CVSUP updates from the FreeBSD site. (This will get you all the lates patches to 'stable') and then 'buildworld', followed by 'installworld'. (See the online HTML handbook for details) This has been reported to work well for patching 2.5.5. Remember: 'stable' is what you want if you value a stable system - and 'current' is what you want if you like to get 'under the hood'.
