Hi...

Can someone shed some light on me. I am a total NetBSD newbie. Now I am
downloading NetBSD -CURRENT snapshot and while waiting for it to finish, I
have been doing quite some reading.

In FreeBSD world, there are 2 branches: -STABLE and -CURRENT. After some
time decided by release engineering team, a snapshot of -STABLE is published
as -RELEASE. That's it...

I have been reading from archieves. I saw the word -current, I saw the word
mainline, I saw the word branch for i386 (something to do with MP)???

Thanks...
