It says, when explaining the different releases: "Briefly, -STABLE is aimed at the ISP, corporate user, or any user who wants stability and a minimal number of changes compared to the new (and possibly unstable) features of the latest -CURRENT snapshot." This is highly contradictory to the information provided several places in the Hanbook. For example: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/current-stable.html "This is still a development branch and, at any given time, the sources for FreeBSD-STABLE may or may not be suitable for general use. It is simply another engineering development track, not a resource for end-users." >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I think having a FAQ section outside of the Handbook is a problem. It would be better, easier to keep track of things, if the FAQ is moved to the Handbook and then the above information corrected. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
