The snapshots aren't release versions, and I don't think they're a good thing to use as one's first exposure to FreeBSD, and most especially not for a machine that is going to be a server. Shouldn't it be emphasized a little that these are pre-release snapshots, not in any way guaranteed bug-free? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
