As Peter asked about both the -stable and -current flavors of the OS, this should be clarified: FAQ 5.2 states: "If you are compiling -current from source, it is HIGHLY recommended that you only do so from a machine which you have full console access to. There will be times in the development process where the mismatch between your new kernel and your old userland may render the system inaccessible via network. This is not an issue when properly building -stable."
