It was a question as to the stability of something called RELEASE, and if it could be trusted on a critical system. People when asked in other groups had simply said to upgrade to 3.1 asap. And to stear clear of 3.0. I brought the question to this list to get a straight answer on it. Seems this list takes a completely different slant on it. I must say, Yes, .0 on just about anything is not all that trustable. BUT, even my grandmother would understand something that was called BETA to be just that. Or ALPHA to be just that. Come to find out RELEASE is NOT just that.. And that is where the confusion and in some peoples eyes, the deception is. Now, can this move silently to the proper list so as not to agrivate the readers of this list with things not related to it. > > I've used every Walnut Creek FreeBSD CDROM since 2.0 Release, including > all the 3.0-current snapshots, and I've used -current sampled at just > random times at my convenience.
