Formal releases provide a stable, supported platform for use in production systems. They are also the proper choice for starters and for everyone who wants to get to know NetBSD. The latest formal release is NetBSD &release.latest; (release information). Download an ISO image via BitTorrent or FTP. If using FTP, choose a server from the list of mirrors, change into the &release.latest; directory, and fetch the ISO image for the relevant port. Download NetBSD &release.latest; via FTP or HTTP: Change into the NetBSD &release.latest; directory and fetch the files for the relevant port. NetBSD &release.latest; (and previous releases) can also be ordered as CD-ROM sets.

Builds of -current generally provide more features than formal releases, but have not had the same degree of testing, and should be avoided on production systems where possible. They are aimed at developers, experienced testers, and early adopters. More information is available at the NetBSD-current page.
