Trying current

[Brett]

Hi list,

I'm getting and old core2duo today to install FreeBSD (hopefully current) on it. Looking in the ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ folder for the last week or so, there have been no snapshots in there. Do they still come out roughly monthly and/or is one likely to appear soon? 

Looking at the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html , it does not specifically mention a starting point to build from. If not snapshots are expected soon, am I likely to experience much grief in getting from 9.0 or 9.1rc1 to current?

Thanks,
Brett.
