I'm planning to install FreeBSD (x64) on a computer that already has Linux on it. I hope to use the new FreeBSD installation for routine tasks, but I might want to adapt to new developments, particularly in multimedia, that were not immediately incorporated into the RELEASE branch.
Assuming that STABLE is right for me, there don't seem to be any snapshots available for it online (9.0), as there have been with past releases. Or am I looking in the wrong place? Otherwise I'd use updates with the RELEASE version, I guess.

Please correct you news client,
long lines look terrible in regular clients :)
I would suggest 9.0 Release and then move on from there.

My understanding is there is no real thing as "9.0 STABLE".

The tag RELENG_9 might do what is wanted when used with csup

or cvsup. The supfile is
*default host=cvsup11.us.freebsd.org compress
#*default release=cvs
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_9
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
src-eBones
src-secure
#ports-all tag=.
The resulting system reports from uname -a
FreeBSD www.zefox.org 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #14: Fri Sep 21 20:28:02 PDT 2012
This isn't what the OP was looking for, but I think it's the only
present method.
Hope this helps,
