Thank you for the reply.

After reading some material from FreeBSD, I've some confusion about -release, -stable, and -current.

As example, let's say I'm installing FreeBSD 7.0 -release, then after finish the installation, do I need to upgrade it to FreeBSD 7.0 -stable, and do cvsup every week/month like windowsupdate facility in Microsoft OS in every early months?

Or do I need to wait for 7.1 -release, and upgrade it from 7.0 -release straight away?

Off course, I'll not jump to -current because it is too much complicated for new user like me.

Waiting for advices and continue reading FreeBSD handbook.

Thank you.
