It's probably worth checking the current problem lists for hardware conflicts before purchasing, however. I fancied tying out FreeBSD 4.0, so I purchased it from WC. Sadly, an ATA controller bug means I can't install it. Not to be defeated, I tried installing 3.4R, which now runs just fine.

Morning I had installing slack7 because 4.0 is not running on my system, 4.0 from iso image. I don4t like slack7, it4s slow, 2 terminals use all the system resources, copy "only" 300mb between partitions of a same harddisk freeze the system, and others and others reasons i prefer fbsd. Weel I want to know if it4s safe to by fbsd4.0 from wc now, or wait for a 4.1, 4.2 ? The Staff Team is planning to do a new version when? I don4t want buy, and in 1 month they release a new version Jackson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
