Is there a document somewhere that describes the major changes between 2.0.5 and 2.1.0? I'm not looking for something that excruciatingly describes all changes down to each line-by-line source code change, but a few paragraphs would be nice. Being told, "Just do it -- it's good for you", isn't particularly informative. Note that I'm playing devil's advocate here, as I've already decided to migrate to 2.1.0. As far as I can tell from rummaging through the 2.1.0 README files, there isn't anything that describes the major changes. Why should users migrate to 2.1.0? Is there anything that could entice some dissatisfied Linux users to FreeBSD? (Not that I really want to open up that can of tasty toxic waste ... ;-) There's got to be a better sounding answer than saying, "It gots less bugs" (sic). ;-) -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
