Hi,

just a dumb question: what's the difference between FreeBSD-stable and
-release? I know what's -current but haven't found anything about -stable.

If my system was installed from -release (2.1.0-RELEASE to be exact), do I
need to reinstall the whole system if I want to upgrade to -stable or it is
enough to recompile the kernel in -stable and reboot?

Thanks,

E-loy.-
