Hiya Lute Thanks, I have been looking at the website, but I could only see the planned release dates, which we have passed, and I am itching to upgrade. I have been using FreeBSD for a couple of months now, and like you, I think it is the best thing since sliced bread (incidently, what was the best thing before sliced bread ?) I use windows at work, and wish I was using FreeBSD all the time. My personal favourite is the ports collection!! Ports rock :) Can't wait to look for changes in the ports as well, I found nice suprises when I updated from 4.7 to 4.8 (most users here communicate with msn, I couldn't believe my luck with AMSN, now if only there was an Autocad compatible port ...) I love FreeBSD and hope we can educate a few more downunder" as most don't seem to have heard of FreeBSD here at all.(not in sunny Queensland anyhow) Poor souls ! I work in the electrical industry and the CAD ports are fantastic. I have not figured out even 1/4 of them yet - but the selection appears to be well thought out, and the programs I have played with so far are terrific. Long live the daemon :) Regards Andrew Kozak FreeBSD Rox My Sox :) -------Original Message------- From: Lute Mullenix Date: Monday, 06 October 2003 11:46:08 AM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 4.9 ?

Alway kind of figured they are just squashing a few bugs before it gets to me. Your best bet is to just keep an eye on the web site, as the release announcements come out there right away. Hope you are enjoying FBSD, I know that I have been using it long enough that I just can't see me using anything else anymore. It not only does everything I need it to but many thing that this box will never be used for. -- Lute ************************ * Power Provided * * by * * FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE * ************************ _______________________________________________ freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" .home | help
