I am happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE, the very latest release on the FreeBSD -STABLE development branch.
Now that this is out, I can get off the STABLE train and get back to a release. Nothing wrong with tracking -STABLE per se, but I have felt some trepidation each time I have been through an upgrade. It’s so much more involved than Linux kernel upgrades, since *BSD is a complete OS, with a kernel and userland to sync up.
I’m thinking now that I have a CD burner, I’ll pull down the ISOs and do it that way. Net installs are fine, but given AT&T’s performance and the surge of demand, CDs make more sense.
