And this wonderful newsflash is brought to us only a few weeks after
the FIRST "Official" CD release of FreeBSD was pre-announced[1]. I
immediately followed that up with a story about the 47th "Official" CD
release of FreeBSD to be released on January 26, but they never posted
it. The editing at Slashdot has been a joke recently. It is very
clear that the posters don't even follow the links in the submissions.
I will send some pointers to the editors to make sure this never
happens again, as I'm sure many readers have already done.
