wumpus188 writes "FreeBSD Release Eng. Team's Murray Stokely announces the availability of first release candidate for FreeBSD 4.9 (RC1). He is requesting everyone to download and test, including helping with finding bugs. As indicated in the Release Engineering Team's testing agenda, more testing should be done with PAE systems to test device compatibility and performance. In particular, active systems with 12 gigs of RAM or more should be thoroughly tested to make sure the various memory allocation algorithms in the kernel still scale properly."

FreeBSD is actually fading away. Some would call this "dying". I dunno. Whatever. FreeBSD won't be around in another year or two. That's the point.

Well given the amount of bugs in 5.0, apparently not!

FreeBSD is dead and buried. M'kay?
