   Not really related but kind of -- is -current fully BSDI 2.0 compatible?

As far as has been reported, yes.

   There were a couple of things (Netscape & Excite) that I wanted to run but 

Netscape runs just fine under -stable; I believe they compile to
BSD/OS 1.1 instead of 2.0 for that.  Same for their commerce server.

I don't know about Excite.

   So the latest SNAP CD is the best thing to get?

For easy and convenient access to 2.2-current, yes, I'd say so.
