Hi all: I have been using FreeBSD in production enviroments so I used FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.8. Now, I have installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my laptop. So I decided to keep track of the -RELEASE_5 (STABLE). But It seems that there is not such a branch on the repository. Reading diferent links at freebsd.org. It seems that there is only to branchs for 5.1: -CURRENT -RELENG_5_1 The first one, I think can be a very agresive for my intentions. The second one, instead, will not modify my sources to improve the performace because it is a patch branch. If I am not wrong with this, what will be the reason to install 5.1 instead 4.8? I mean, 5.1 has more features but a worst performace that 4.8. On the other hand, there is no -STABLE branch of 5.1 so the only way to keep you system up to date is follow the -CURRENT branch which is a little agresive in my case. Thanks in advance.
