You can download the 'release' ISO at your own risk. Meaning, without official acknowledgement that you are getting the 'true' official release then you can't hold them liable if you put this on your production machines and something goes terribly wrong (i.e. loss of data). Sometimes, people can put a release snapshot or official release on the FTP site to test builds or mirroring or for the QA/testers to use as a 'pre-RTM'. But, people have a good point. You shouldn't label something as release since you KNOW it will confuse anyone visiting the FTP servers. We normally would think that the web pages were not updated (this happens on the slackware site as well as others) and try to download the ISO before the offical announcement. Human nature. So the question of the day could be: Is the ISO images of 4.8 the 'released-to-manufacturing (vendors/retailers)' or 'official release' versions and not pre-RTM (beta) code?!? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgi Hristov" <tweaky_81@yahoo.com> To: "Marcel Moolenaar" <marcel@xcllnt.net> Cc: <freebsd-stable@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 10:44 PM Subject: 4.8-RELEASE > If the release is not ready, why don't the webmaster > update the site to reflect this.
