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."

Maybe now my crappy SigmaTel sound is supported.

Congrats to the FreeBSD developers.

Check out 7.0 for newer hardware support. There are new devices which aren't backported to 6.3.

Now, I know I'm being a little radical here, but maybe, just maybe, you could install OpenSound - I know, its a little surprising, but your sound card might be supported!

PS. note the sarcasm, it is directed at those who complain about 'sound support' on FreeBSD and yet people who can't be bothered installing OpenSound.
