I am setting up a new FreeBSD 15.1 server from scratch, an actual physical 1U server.

Should I install from distribution sets or packages? I realize that packages are
the future, but when you boot from a USB stick and get to that point in the
install it says packages are "technology preview" which is a bit daunting.

TIA,
John
