This is becoming a FAQ... Shouldn't FreeBSD keep copies of older versions around? I don't know the older versions but if they have lesser hardware requirements (i.e. smaller RAM, smaller HD Space, smaller CPUs...) they should be left around for people who want to use a great UNIX and who can't afford a hardware upgrade... Any comments anyone?
