FreeBSD 4.8 Released

Posted by michael on from the freer-than-ever dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD's Murray Stokely announces the long awaited availability of FreeBSD 4.8, the latest FreeBSD-stable release, which has dealt with known security issues, and added initial support for Firewire, HyperThreading, and other new hardware technologies. Murray says that the new release is also the result of conservative updates to a number of software programs in the FreeBSD base system, see FreeBSD 4.8 release notes for more information."

    All Linux users laugh reading these release notes. I feel like I am watching "Discovery History Channel" about Linux of late 90's.

    Initial firewire support, rudimental hyperthreading and SMP, sendmail and ftp updates. Where have you been people all these years?
