FreeBSD "We have now reached the Release Candidate stage of the FreeBSD 6.2 release cycle. A few significant problems had been discovered during the initial BETA testing and those issues should now be fixed. RC1 is the first of two planned Release Candidate builds. If no more significant problems are reported 6.2-RELEASE builds will be done after RC2."

"I've had no real speed issue with the 5 series, [...]"

Maybe I had sone halluzinations. :-)

"[...] but I did find out how fast my laptop could be since I started using 4.8 on it."

At work I use an old Toshiba T1600/40 with FreeBSD 4.1 on it - with cu(1) as a serial maintenance terminal. Shame on me, why don't I use my museum DEC VT100? :-) (Answer: It's too big to place it in the filing cabinet.)

As far as I know, DragonflyBSD uses the 4.x branck and did further development on it.
