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. - Murray [1] http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/01/09/1344238&mode=thread --DSayHWYpDlRfCAAQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8UJk9tNcQog5FH30RAk89AJ4hC65HJeRWD8eJyY68/lafiuM74wCgqPtm 9+iQea4iedkUWhh5vir4yKo= =8Cqx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DSayHWYpDlRfCAAQ-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
