FreeBSD 5.2-RC1 Released

Dan writes "FreeBSD Release Engineering Team's Scott Long has uploaded ISO images and FTP install bits for FreeBSD 5.2-RC1. i386, alpha, and pc98 are available now, amd64 will be available shortly, and sparc64 will be available shortly. Please test this as much as possible so that the FreeBSD Team can release a good 5.2-RELEASE next week. Testing focus for 5.2-RELEASE relates to PCM locking and performance issues, ATA driver improvements, GPT support for sysinstall, ATAng disk corruption issues, SMP and random_harvest panic, vinum data corruption, ACPI kernel module and reported NFS failures."

    On Bizarro World:

    SCC makes you pay them $699 if you DON'T use Linux.

    The recording industry sells all their material online, in a usable format, at a fair price

    We don't, for one, welcome our new overlords.

    Windows Security is not an oxymoron

    All the trolls can't stop proclaiming how *BSD is so alive.

    .... otherwise this mentally retarded deranged individual wouldn't be spending so much time trying to discredit it.

    Seems like this nut runs a Windows or Linux business and feels threatened by FreeBSD!

    Can't wait for FreeBSD 5.2 next week, this freak will go nuts!

    Two thoughts come to mind while reading this:

    1) Haven't they asked you, repeatedly, (and besides that, isn't it better etiquette...) to point to a list of mirrors instead of directly to an FTP site?

    2) Just saw an ad for Slashdot personals. Heh.

    Me: So, you read slashdot?
    Her: Yeah.
    Me: I gotta get going now, nice meeting you.
