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!"

    Try Fedora. Really. Core 1 is really "RedHat 10," and is faster and lighter on memory usage than RedHat 9, to boot. It supposedly runs software packaged for RedHat 9, as well. I was uncertain -- I even emailed (er, flamed) a friend working at RedHat about the whole Fedora/Enterprise thing. I needn't have. Fedora's fine.

    It might have been easier to explain to the public if RedHat had chosen to keep calling it "RedHat Linux," rather than Fedora. They could have kept selling RHN access at $60/pop, too -- just shut off the demo accounts and announce a switch to " paid support only."

    Anyhoo... give Fedora a shot.

    Strikes me this is a cheap way of countering accusations of linux bias. "Look!" the editors can say, "at how many bsd headlines we have!"

    Ridiculous, not rediculous. As in ridicule.

    It seems to me that having an Apple and a BSD section, yet not having a Linux section shows some bias. But then again, BSD articles don't often make it to the front page (as far as I've noticed).
