Hi I am not a dev, just a user, so I use -release and -stable.
On amd64/i386 a fresh installed 6.1-release can be patched by syspatch or with -stable is patched by compiling kernel and userland as mentioned in FAQ (CVS and so on). Currently I use both ways on separate servers.
For 6.1 amd64/i386 is there a difference between a syspatched -release and a compiled -stable (in base syspatched -release eq compiled -stable)? And what about the userland in -release in contrary to a fresh compiled userland for -stable? For amd64/i386 I just want to understand the difference if there is any to decide which way will be more suitable for my new installations.
Many thanks. Oliver
