FreeBSD 4.11-RC2 Available

Posted by timothy on from the keeping-stable dept.

hugo_pt writes "The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.11-RC2. This is the second of three scheduled release candidates. At the moment there are no known severe issues. However the Linux Emulation subsystem (mostly added as a package) has been completely updated based on Red Hat 8.0. We would appreciate people testing the Linux emulation support. In particular testing to see if Linux applications continue to behave correctly if the linux_* packages get installed while using sysinstall(8) during the initial installation of the machine. The package set for disc1 is still being decided on, what is on disc1 for this RC will most likely change before the release."

  1. 2nd of 3 "Release Candidates"? by r7 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can someone clarify FreeBSD's terminology? I thought a release candidate was different from a beta (known in FreeBSD-speak as a -STABLE).
