Monthly snapshots are at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ > Or am I missing something? Most people track stable via source updates and building world (in the handbook). When I install on a new machine I usually install the last release, and then immediately do a source upgrade. That said, the jp daily snapshots are a good resource, as are the monthly snapshots. The only formal releases are, well, releases - 6.0-R, etc. -David -- "...which will go down in history as the funniest parody of a Seattle Department of Transportation Urban Forestry publication EVER." -The Stranger
