Ok, from what I understand, when you update with CVS, you get all the 
package info for all the current packages, stable and unstable. if you 
are only using stable (the default), then you get the advantage of 
getting the updated packages between binary releases. stable is stable, 
for the most part. unstable is stableish/not usually bleeding edge, but 
it can be sometimes. I think though, that pre built binaries are only 
available for each binary release, ie. if you want to use the newest 
stable versions, use fink install <packagename>, or fink update-all to 
update everything you have installed to the newest stable version. I 
hope this helps.
