Jan 18 is the last stable system I installed, and there have been no problems with it. However, it now needs updated to get the latest BIND updates (actually, I my just install BIND from the ports since the system itself is stable) I haven't had an opportunity to try anything more recent, so I can't say anything good or bad about more recent snapshots of the -STABLE branch. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
