Hi,
I'd like to try out FreeBSD and was wondering whether
I should start with 6.1-BETA4 or 6.0? Its just for
home use anyways, more as a way to fool around with
FreeBSD a bit, so was wondering if 6.1-BETA4 would
suffice for the purpose ... is it stable enough or
would it give me issues?
Also, suppose I were to go with 6.0, is there some way
I can update to the 6.1 release when its released,
*without* downloading the CDs etc? Maybe give some
command which would download the required parts over
the Internet?
I think you better install 6.0 so you can later upgrade it to 6.1 when
it would be released and tested several weeks.
The upgrade procedure is not so simple and requires much attention, but
it is pretty good described in FreeBSD Handbook, and you can get
valueble expirience in upgrading. You won't need to download CDs.
Besides I think security patches for 6.0 would be provided until 6.2
version of FreeBSD will be released.
