FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE Status Update
Dan writes "FreeBSD Release Engineering Team's Bruce Mah provides the latest status of what's holding up the official release of FreeBSD 4.8. We fully support FreeBSD RE's approach to fixing necessary problems before officially releasing the product."
So will this be the last non-merged release?
Schrödinger's cat is not amused—maybe.
Download or Buy a cd for Newbies ?
The "sbootmgr" floppy image that slackware (and no doubt others) gets around this. It basically boots a software bios that can boot from a CD (like the software bioses for large HDD support on old machines)
Of course, if you have no CD drive at all you're boned. Some of us (like me) put together boxes with no CD drive, my gateway machine was done by hand from the floppy drive.
Oh well. So the premier of Night of the Assisted Living BSD has been delayed.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Whether or not you consider Office 2K stable is a point of view. From an admin point of view I find it rather irritaing that export from Great Plains to Excel only works if I give "Everybody" write access to the excel binary and the MAPI interface to Outlook is not only a moving target between patches because of bad security design, but as of SP3 randomly drops MAPI generated emails. So in this case "stable" really depends on what parts of it you use.
Does it cause blue screens of death or "crash" often? No. Does it behave as advertised all the time? Also no. That makes it "unstable" in my book.
Never meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and good with catsup.
