FreeBSD 5.2.1 RC Ready For Getting

Posted by Hemos on from the get-more-of-it dept.

MobyTurbo writes "FreeBSD 5.2.1 RC is now available, and now can be downloaded from the FreeBSD site and mirrors, or if you are currently running FreeBSD 5.2 (or for that matter some earlier versions) you can simply cvsup to it. The upcoming 5.2.1 release should fix a number of outstanding bugs in the 5.2 release, and this is a chance to make sure those bugs get fixed!"

    I understand how major releases of software is what is termed "news for nerds", but do we need to submit every single update to every single piece of software that is of slight interest? Can I remind everyone this isn't even a release, but a Release Candidate?

    It is News for Nerds : who else would care about a Release Candidates of FreeBSD?

    So why is BSD at version 5.2.1 already, and LINUX is still stuck at 2.6?

    Pff, FreeBSD is still stuck at version numbers, while some Linux distros have cool movie characters names. I'm still waiting for FreeBSD Potato or FreeBSD Woody. But then again, FreeBSD doesn't exactly gives woodies to anyone does it?

    I've seen numerous comments of how Linux users are just "childish clueless newbies who hate Windows"

    This comment coming from someone who calls himself "yer_momma". Amusing...

    uptime records? Don't you just hate it when you give "shutdown -h now" on the wrong console?

    Did it just the other day.
