It still just says RC. Jim, you said this on irc yesterday too, and I'm having as hard a time understanding it now as I did then...

Certainly there are no major new additions of functionality, but something must be changing to justify the creation of a new release candidate? -- Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
