Thanks Jacob and Mike. I've actually been mulling the option of upgrading from 4.6, but I'm not sure which version I'd rather have. I waited when 4.7 came out, then 4.8 . . . My current install was built on 9/1/02 - just a version code update, not an OS update. I almost upgraded then, but I was in the throes of a home purchase. Not at my best, technically. I'd welcome (and appreciate) version recommendations before I make my next upgrade. What is generally considered the most stable release? I see a lot of problems on this list, but not much about the useability and stability - of course the list is supposed to be a place to get solutions to problem though, right? Thanks a lot for the input. I'll look for any recommendations offered, read the FreeBSD site a bit, and run my upgrade in a few weeks - after studying the 'correct' process again.
