Most people install FreeBSD from a release CD; ie, they install 6.4-
RELEASE, or 7.2-RELEASE, or similar.
Then I may choose to install the ports
Chuck,
Thank you for your help. I have two questions:

Here are you referring only to security updates to the core OS and not
applications in ports such as Firefox?
In the BSDs, the baseline or core OS is separate

Yes. The kernel and a few important libraries and utilities comprise
the base system. They are kept separate from FreeBSD Ports, unlike in
Gentoo, where you can for example update your kernel or other

Yes, all of the above. Basically, ports (or packages) install under
/usr/local; everything else under /bin, /usr/bin, etc is part of the
core OS.
Okay, I think I understand now.
Applications on a FreeBSD machine are broken into two categories:

I don't think it is what it sounds like - STABLE branches are
development branches with stable binary interfaces. It's the security
branches that are intended for production use.
