Every "few months" there is (or should be) a -Release version. If you only want to pay attention to the issues involved in upgrading every few months then that's where you should aim. There is nothing wrong with not following -Stable and using -Release, but if you don't follow -Stable and it bites you in the ass, don't look for anyone to be following you around with Bactine. :) Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** At Barry (a small town in south Wales) hidden cameras have had to be installed to keep watch on the town's CCTV [Closed Circuit Television] to record acts of vandalism against the CCTV. - Privacy Forum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
