Thanks for the advice!! I will enjoy it for sure!! BTW i ordered both
printer handbooks from FREEBSD Mall! to keep reading when goinn to the
toilet! hahahah
I tought that my version was already stable... when i downloaded...
7.2-RELEASE is the same as 7.2-CURRENT then??
Will be better to upgrade to v 8 or downgroaded to 7.0-STABLE?
Thanks!
