Well it is because I don't want it rushed that I'm talking about it now. It is just after the release with a few months before the next 3.x release and also we have waited until a few other OS vendors have brought versions with IPv6 included and others have anounced that their next version will have it in. That is not rushing, that is running in the middle of the pack. :-) John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
