FreeBSD 4.8 Release Delayed Until Mar 24

Posted by timothy on from the when-it's-ready-it'll-be-ready dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD Release Engineering Team's Murray Stokley indicates in his email that the latest FreeBSD 4.8 release will need to be postponed until March 24 in order to include suggested fixes related to the XFree86 4.3.0 port. After a complete package rebuild, they plan to release FreeBSD 4.8 RC2 first. Murray requests everyone to continue testing the XFree86 4.3.0 port to ensure a quality release."

    I agree that BSDers (like myself) are in the minority, but I'm not so sure about Slashdot being "mainly a linux forum."

    I agree. I don't think there's a whole lot of actual linux users on here -- although I do think there are a lot of kids posting from the Windows XP box that has a long-dormant Red Hat partition on it somewhere.
