Subject: Re: freeBSD 5.5 Prerelease ( 5.4 stable )
but i need a working OS, not a bata !
If you don't like using a beta (nothing wrong with that), you definitely
should not be using -stable either. There are even less promises
regarding the reliability and quality of -stable than there are of a
beta. After all, during the prerelease and beta cycles, the tree is
getting in shape for a release and there is a focus on fixing as many
little nits as possible. In between releases, bigger MFCs might hit
-stable from time to time and make it less reliable.
So, while you are getting confused by the branch name changing, you
should also rethink whether you want -stable at all. It really seems
like you should be aiming for RELENG_5_4 (and then RELENG_5_5 once 5.5
is out) instead.

Thank you much for your input.
after thinking this over a few weeks ago,
it did seem to be the best bet to go for 5.4 stable.
i gave 6.0 release its chance, things didnt
seem to work as i needed them.
5.4 release does not support Eclipse 3.1 at all.
this is why i needed 5.4 stable !
as hard as i tried to stay simple on
using FreeBSD, FreeBSD led me to 5.4 stable
as of Feb1, 2006 at 10:00 GMT..... all working this far.
Software has its own mind, it will & has led us here.
i could go on & on about what i think about all this.
but the truth is, FreeBSD software led me here !
What i am upto with freebsd 5.4 stable ?
