Hi, > I was told by a person who is a UNIX admin that he was reading that > freebsd will not be going further than version 4.4 Huh? FreeBSD is based on the original Berkeley BSD code which DID stop at 4.4. FreeBSD has since extended this so sure there will eventually be a 4.something, but that's a ways in the future. Right now the development branch is at 3.0 and the stable user branch is at 2.2.7. > So I am asking you, since you may have a heads up, will there be > a version 5 and 6 , 7 8 and so forth? Will they keep going on with the > developments of this operating system. I hope so. I just convinced the "sys admin" (read Windows person) here that the Linux box should be FreeBSD. Basically she can't administer it and I find it easier to do the things she wants to do in FreeBSD (since I'm more familiar w/ it). I also think that FreeBSD will be easier for her to administer, with some preliminary help from me, once I leave (assuming I ever finish my thesis!).
