<p><b>Date:</b> Fri, 04 Oct 2005 08:40:04 -0700<br>
<b>From:</b> Scott Long &lt;scottl@FreeBSD.org&gt;<br>
<b>To:</b> freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org<br>
<b>Subject:</b> [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 6.0 Released</p>
<p>It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce
the availability of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.
This release is the next step in delivering the
high performance and enterprise features that
have been under development in the FreeBSD 5.x
series for that last several years.
Some of the many changes since 5.4 include:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Significant performance improvements to the
filesystem and direct disk access layers of the OS.
The filesystem is now multithreaded and can
take full advantage of multiple CPU systems.</p></li>
<li><p>Expanded support for wireless networking adapters
and new support for
the WPA wireless security protocol.</p></li>
<li><p>Experimental support for the PowerPC platform.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For a complete list of new features and known problems,
please see the release notes and errata list, available
at:</p>
<p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/relnotes.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/relnotes.html</a></tt>
<br>
<tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/errata.html">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/errata.html</a></tt></p>
<p>For more information about FreeBSD release engineering
activities, please see:</p>
<p><tt><a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng</a></tt></p>
<h2>Availability</h2>
<p>FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha,
sparc64, amd64, powerpc, and ia64 architectures and
can be installed directly over the
net using bootable media or copied to a local NFS/FTP server.
Distributions for all architectures are available now.</p>
<p>Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by
purchasing media from one of our supporting vendors.
The following companies will be
offering FreeBSD 6.0 based products:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>FreeBSD Mall, Inc.
<tt><a href="http://www.freebsdmall.com/">http://www.freebsdmall.com/</a></tt></p></li>
<li><p>Daemonnews, Inc.
<tt><a href="http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html">http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html</a></tt></p></li>
</ul>
<p>If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient,
or just want to use it for evangelism purposes,
then by all means download the ISO images.
We can't promise that all the mirror sites
will carry the larger ISO images, but they will
at least be available from the
following sites. MD5 and SHA256 checksums for the release
images are included at the bottom of this message.</p>
<h2>Bittorrent</h2>
<p>The FreeBSD project encourages the use of BitTorrent
for distributing the release ISO images. A collection
of torrent files to download the
images is available at:</p>
