Damien Fleuriot articulated:
I'd say it's a matter of personal preference.
We're mostly running 8.3 in production here.
I've recently installed 9-STABLE servers to try them out and fill PRs
if I get problems.
I would encourage you to use 9-STABLE so that you may do the same and
ensure the stability of future releases.
I would agree with that philosophy up to a point. It is definitely a
matter of personal preference; however, for myself, I NEVER install
version X.0 of any software if said software is to be used in a mission
critical situation. I always wait until X.1 is released. If possible in
your case, would it be feasible to wait until 9.1 is released? You
can gather some info on it here:
<http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html>. As usual, any
correlation between the expected release date and the actual date is
purely coincidental. Just my 2ยข on the matter.
not disagreeing per se..but just a reminder that with the excellent
freebsd-update you get updates to 9.0 quickly ( i hadn't realised there
was 61 already)
from a new install earlier tonight
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
Fetching 61 patches.....10....20....30....40....50....60 done.
Paul.
