sorry to bother everyone but I've been pretty inactive lately. I just installed 5.1 release and I usually cvsup to stable but I'm not sure there is a stable version yet. should I bother with cvsuping? I have always followed the stable track.. This is for a firewall machine with simple rules running dns, samba, ftp, etc... Tony
is this what I want?

It's about to feature the 4.9 release. 5.x is still -CURRENT.> should I bother with cvsuping?cvsup is a great way to get updates.> I have always followed the stable track..So why install a -CURRENT snapshot [aka. "New Technology Release"]? FWIW, 5.x will become -STABLE quite soon, so you may want to stick with it through the transition. As always, see the web site for release details[1].
