Re: NetBSD-5, snapshot or head?



  The NetBSD 5.1 release is 1 year old. What iso do you
  advise to install for a new system, NetBSD-5,
  daily snapshot or head?

In my view there are two reasonable approaches

  recent "netbsd-5" branch, which shows up as 5.1_STABLE.  This will be
  missing lots of things in current, but is highly likely to be very
  stable.

  -current.   This, which it builds, is usually ok, and has lots of
  things fixed, lots of new features, but it's a little scarier.


Things I would avoid

  NetBSD 5.1 release (old, netbsd-5 tip is better)

  netbsd-5-1 branch (unless you know that it works for you and you value
  stability above all else - which is what it's for).  But you  didn't
  say you are running a bank webserver.
