If I remember right, the odd numbers are a little bit more experimental compared to the even numbers. For myself, I try to stick with even numbers whenever possible. If I install FreeBSD on a serious machine, I never use x.0. It must be at least x.1. > > There's no such odd/even number policy with FreeBSD-- I think you're > thinking of another OS ;) > maybe something got stuck in my head with the move from 4 to 5. How easy was the move to 6 then? Independent of this, it is still true that there is always the older branch available when a new one opens at .0. > You're right that x.0 is slightly more experimental in general though > (by its nature, it must be).
