<b>Subject:</b>FreeBSD 2.2.8 is now released!</p>
|
|
|
|
<P>It is, as always, my great pleasure to announce the release of FreeBSD
|
|
2.2.8, our latest and final release along the 2.2-stable branch. Those
|
|
folks who are still running 2.1.x and wish to upgrade to 2.2 technology
|
|
are definitely encouraged to do so now as the 2.2-stable branch
|
|
has gone into maintainence mode. A number of problems with 2.2.7 have been
|
|
fixed and the <A HREF="notes.html">release notes</A> should be consulted
|
|
for more information.</P>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE is available on <A
|
|
HREF="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD">ftp.FreeBSD.org</A> and
|
|
various <A HREF="&base;/handbook/mirrors.html">FTP mirror sites</A>
|
|
throughout the world. 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 as a 4 CD set containing a lot of extra stuff
|
|
of interest to programmers and general users alike.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: All of the profits from the sales of this CD set
|
|
go to support the FreeBSD Project!</p>
