     hrmmmmzzzzzzzzz

    Perhaps I should use a more simple approach, as I feel I have been misquoted


    Obviously, I was referring to 4.9-STABLE, I actually run 4.8-STABLE, and
    have read the handbook, including chapter 21, I was not after the difference
    between -STABLE -CURRENT -RELEASE, I was actually referring to the link
    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/schedule.html which states that the
    tree will 'unfreeze' at the end of September. As we are now in October, and
    I think the system is the greatest to be developed, I am curious to see if 4
    9 has been labelled (if that's the right word) as 4.9-STABLE, as I have read
    that when a release (as in 4.8 / 4.9 not in -RELEASE) becomes -STABLE, that
    is the time top fire up cvsup and make/buildworld. As I had mentioned in my
    earlier communication, I found some nice suprises when I upgraded from 4.7
    to 4.8, (just happened to start on a 4.7 disc, then cvsup to 4.8), and am
    looking forward to seeing what 4.9 might bring. So, I was wondering if
    anybody knew anything about 4.9-STABLE. :)

    Um, -STABLE is, well, "stable", and "up", and "running"
    on a half-million to a million boxes or so.
     
    And the people with 4.9 Pre-release? They've already
    upgraded. Look into Chapter 21 in the handbook.
    You can upgrade 'til your heart's content... :-)
