After reading the announcement...
Congratulations to the FreeBSD community
another milestone!
A great OS...

But for the ISO images... IS it a problem to  gzip
them....
They take less space on the master site and the mirror
sites and they take less bandwidth!

Shouldn't be a problem I think!

Less bandwidth and less time to download
even economical a good thing!

With regards,

Arnout Boer
