At the moment, 0.8.14 is stable!
0.9.0 is in a "preview state" - no new features, making thinks stable

The stable release will be available in rpm's and other packages. But 
bugfixes are not aplied to the packages - so if you want to stay 
up-to-date you have to checkout from cvs and compile yourself. Also if 
you need non-default features (e.g. radius), you have to recompile ser.

If you use debian, you can use the dpkg-buildpackage after adopting the 
config files in the debian directory.

Don't know - never made an rpm myself.
