- justin66 9y agoNothing about FreeBSD release versioning is obvious.
- ksec 9y agoIf we use Windows Versioning Perspective. 10.4 = Versoin 10, Services Pack 4 11.1 = Version 11, Services Pack 1 At least that is how i think of it. Am I missing something? What isn't obvious about it?
- ddhfdvsfji 9y agoWtf is a services pack?
- howard941 9y agoThe 10 and 11 kernel ABIs differ
- justin66 9y ago> At least that is how i think of it. Am I missing something? What isn't obvious about it? I think the number of times I've witnessed discussions over the decades regarding "which version of FreeBSD should I use?" numbers in the hundreds.
- takeda 9y agoThe official answer to this is to use latest stable version for any new server. That means 11.1 right now. 10.4 is intended for individuals who are still running 10.x
- kqr 9y agoAs far as I understand it, that is nothing more than an urban legend based on the fact that 5.0 was a terrible, rushed release and not meant for production (it was also marked as such). That mistake has not been repeated since, to my knowledge.
- tedunangst 9y agoHistorically, it wasn't always obvious which "service pack" one wanted to jump in at, or whether the .0 release was any good, etc.
- cat199 9y agoSeriously? this makes more sense to you than much more human-centric release names like Fuzzy Slippers and Spicy Chicken Sandwich? sheesh. :D
- gkya 9y agoI mean it's obvious that you'd want the latest release, and there's no release numerically higher than that one. But I understand, for some, laconic and prejudicious snarks are more pleasing than trying to understand what the interlocutor is trying to communicate.
