I would like to install freeBSD on a machine which only has WinXP resides in it now. I need to set it up to do some work. And I think there are 2 choices for me now, which are 5.2.1 or 5.3-BETA5. Although I would like to keep up-to-date with the OS but still I want a reasonably stable system on which most ports installs without many problems. And I would like to be able to upgrade to 5.3-STABLE when it is ready some point in the future without much struggles. I don't mind to recompile all the ports, though. So, what are your suggestions? Thanks for any input. --- Choy Kho Yee "There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not."
