Will there be a chance for a RELEASE with SMP support this year? You don't have to wait for a "release." From time to time, -current is pretty "stable," although not -stable. So much has been added to -current and not back ported to -stable that by now, -stable seems more like -stale. I FTP with Midnight Commander and go to releng22.FreeBSD.org to pick up the latest SNAP of -current. Midnight Commander makes copying the whole directory tree a breeze. With a 128k ISDN line it only takes about 2 hours to download. Put the SNAP directory on a local FTP or NFS server, make the boot floppy, and you will be -current in a jiffy. If you get a SNAP of -current which happens to be especially "stable" for you, you can always use the "date" tag with CVSup to reproduce the same tree at a later time for installation of other machines. -- The day of the proprietary OS is over.
