Subject: 2.1.0-RELEASE now available!

|
<p>Could it be? Could the long-awaited release of FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
|
2.1 truly have arrived?</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It gives me great pleasure to answer those questions with
|
|
|
|
|
a ``yes!''</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE is now available on <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/">ftp.freebsd.org</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and various FTP <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../../handbook/mirrors.html">mirror sites throughout
|
|
|
|
|
the world</a>. It can also be ordered on CD from <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://www.cdrom.com/">Walnut Creek CDROM</a>, from
|
|
|
|
|
where it will be shipping shortly.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD 2.1 represents the culmination of 6 months worth
|
|
|
|
|
of work on the 2.1-STABLE branch of FreeBSD since the
|
|
|
|
|
previous release (FreeBSD 2.0.5).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The STABLE branch was conceived out of the need to allow
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD to grow and support long-term development projects
|
|
|
|
|
like devfs, NFSv3, IPX, PCCARD, etc. while at the same time
|
|
|
|
|
not jeopardizing the stability of its existing user base.
|
|
|
|
|
Experimental or high-impact changes are allowed into <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../../handbook/current.html">FreeBSD-current</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
which represents a sort of shared group development tree,
|
|
|
|
|
and only well tested or obvious fixes are allowed into
|
|
|
|
|
STABLE. In a few rare cases, where some bit of
|
|
|
|
|
functionality was entirely missing before, we've supplied
|
|
|
|
|
an ALPHA test quality version in STABLE on the premise that
|
|
|
|
|
some functionality is better than none at all (a good
|
|
|
|
|
example being the IDE CDROM driver).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information on the 2.1 release itself, please
