The best release to install now?

2004-09-21 Thread Choy Kho Yee
I would like to install freeBSD on a machine which only has WinXP resides in it now. I need to set it up to do some work. And I think there are 2 choices for me now, which are 5.2.1 or 5.3-BETA5. Although I would like to keep up-to-date with the OS but still I want a reasonably stable system
