I recently bought FreeBSD 2.1.5 from a local software store (it was cheaper and I could have it sooner than from Walnut Creek :-) and I want to thank you for such a solid, fast system. It is noticably faster on my Pentium 75 with 24MB then Linux 1.2.13 (i have been a Linux user for about 3 years). I also appreciate the built-in security model. My question is this: I would like to upgrade to a newer version of the software. I understand the difference between CURRENT and STABLE (RELEASE?), but there seems to be two concurrent stable releases of FreeBSD in the works. FreeBSD 2.1.7 and FreeBSD 2.2.x. I would like to know what you recommend! (basically, I would like either a pro/con break down of the differences or a pointer to some more detailed information). Thanks! -- Christofer C.
