Re: FreeBSD 4.8 v/s 5.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Two more questions. 4.8-RELEASE or 4.8_STABLE? I lost my 4.8-stable cd and need to burn another one. What is the easiest way to burn an iso file from freebsd?

Short answer: use 4.8 for anything remotely critical such as a firewall, web server, etc, especially if it's going to talk to the outside world and/or uptime is important. That's why they call it 4.8-STABLE. For learning purposes or a personal system that you don't mind tinkering with every now and again, you might as well go with 5.1. For what it's worth, most releases that aren't necessarily -STABLE are plenty stable enough for normal use. They just aren't officially supported by the FreeBSD team if you run into a snag.

If by "better" you mean "faster on common hardware and more stable", then you *probably* want 4.x. If you mean "has cool new features and should be faster on high-end hardware", then you *probably* want 5.x. -- Kirk Strauser "94 outdated ports on the box, 94 outdated ports.

RE: FreeBSD 4.8 v/s 5.1
ok, i am using 5.1 for 2 developemnt servers, 1 programming workstation. i.e: not production, internal network behind firewall. so, security and stability are not critical as far as i am concerened. there is another important reason, my hardware tends to require later versions of FreeBSD, for example: i am currently supplied with late model Intel P4 systems, they need 5.1 to run hyper-threading CPUs. i hope that is some help. => -Original Message- => Hash: SHA1 => => I was just wondering what people on the list thought.
