Hey everyone,

At the moment iam trying to replace my Pfsense firewalls with opensense software.

But i think the updates are really fast - which is a good think, and today i realized that there are different Settings at the "menu -> System -> Firmware -> Setting"

Here is the possibility to change the Type.  Can you explain what i should set here ?
I can switch between / Development  / Community / Business. But in the Docs ( https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/updates.html ) there are only two option.

Which Repo should I use for the latest, tested version ?

Thank you .

business is the most delayed in updates.    I've run this for 2 years now and probably have to reboot (because of updates).  every 3 months minimum.    this has a yearly license fee

community is updated more often, and the free version.

development is if you wish to try development version. not fully baked yet
