FreeBSD 5.3 RC2 Released

Posted by Hemos on Monday November 1, 2004 @02:40AM from the let-the-candidates-be-released dept.

ValiantSoul writes "FreeBSD 5.3 Release Candidate 2 was just released. This new RC includes an updated network stack that fixes a bug where the system stops responding when under severe network load, the complete disabling of the ULE scheduler due to instability, and other fixes. Originally the FreeBSD team decided not to release a RC 2 however the fixes in the latest CURRENT were important enough to do so. As long as there are no severe problems with RC 2, this will be the last test release until a final one. See the full announcement on the mailing lists."

[man with cart] Bring out yer dead!
[Man with OS slung over his shoulder] 'ere's one!
[FreeBSD, slung over shoulder] But I'm not dead yet!
[Man with cart] 'e sez e's not dead.
[Man with OS] Don't mind 'im, what does he know?
[Man with cart] Well ... I can't take 'im 'til Netcraft confirms it, can I now?
[FreeBSD] Netcraft? Netcraft! Well, that bloody does it!
FreeBSD jumps off the second man's shoulder and begins to club both men, vigorously.
