This is the last 2.2x release and, to my understanding is being kept up to date as far as security holes and massive bugs are concerned. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: rdkeys@unity.ncsu.edu [SMTP:rdkeys@unity.ncsu.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 1:07 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: FBSD 2.2.6 --- any good still for server use? > > I was wondering how good FBSD 2.2.6 was relatively for server use, still. > I have a couple of sets left from the dumping a few months back. > Are there any specific reasons it should not be used on an open server? > I have been running it on the home net and it seems fine, but that is > a closed net, and I don't want to use 2.2.6 if any serious holes remain > in it for our university web servers.
