 5.3 is now in production, use 5.3 Release for production purposes. If
 you need to know the difference between Current and Stable look here...

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html

 Essentially, Stable is still a development branch and it could break,
 the Release versions are for production use.
