Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk It's been several months since the last official release of a version of FreeBSD (it must have been quite a "burnout" to release 2.1.7 and 2.2.2 so close together). Unfortunately, 2.2.2-R had a number of areas where it was really still a "work in progress" -- in particular, parts of the SCSI support (which is much better now), classes, and some of the drivers. How quickly is the 2.2-RELENG branch headed toward a newer, rock-solid release? I have some clients who will not consider installing FreeBSD or upgrading from 2.1.x until they see a tested release (not a snapshot) that's more recent than 2.2.2-R. --Brett
