FreeBSD You guessed it from the headline (bravo!): FreeBSD 6.3 has been released to the public (that's us). From the release notes: "Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after 6.2-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, or contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to major ports/packages or release engineering practices. Clearly the release notes cannot list every single change made to FreeBSD between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements."

I have two production servers that will finally be moving to the 6.x branch (from 5.5).


I'll be doing the same thing to my 5.x systems soon, allthough I want to use 7.0-RELEASE if it's available. It's not that they won't work anymore (after having been in use for several years), but I want to experience the new possibilities that newer FreeBSD releases offer.

Great news, great work.


Everytime a new FreeBSD release is out, the systems runs faster on the same hardware. That's really good work. Thank you, FreeBSD developers!
