OK - I'm stumped - where IS stable? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question but I looked in the handbook...

Monthly snapshots are at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/

Most people track stable via source updates and building world (in the 
handbook). When I install on a new machine I usually install the last 
release, and then immediately do a source upgrade. That said, the jp daily 
snapshots are a good resource, as are the monthly snapshots. The only formal 
releases are, well, releases - 6.0-R, etc.
