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).

Great news, great work.

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!
