Neil, can you organize with Thomas about having a sub page from
the main WWW page that lists these? Something visible? Including the
disclaimer below about testing?

FreeBSD 2.x and 3.x are the current working models, with 2.x being
our "stable" distribution, while 3.x is our development one. From what
I'm seeing, 3.x looks like it might be moving towards a release, as we're
starting to generate snapshot's of that also, but I'm not sure.

From my experience so far, 2.x and 3.x operate the same way as far
as PostgreSQL is concerned, as I'm running development under 3.x, but my
production platform is under 2.x...

If I can remember my password on the machine in question, I'll get
online and do a compile/regression test on the i386 model this
afternoon...

the regression.SunOS file under src/test/regress is based off of...
