I am unable to find any Y2K >information on FreeBSD on the FreeBSD website. This is not directed at anyone in particular, but WTH is *wrong* with the people who are forever asking this question? There's a handy-dandy 'Search' button right at the top of the main FreeBSD web page. Clicking that, then entering any of the following into the 'Web Pages' search (also right near the top of the page) will produce the Y2K statement as the *first hit*: Y2K Y2K Bug Y2K Problem Y2K Statement Year 2000 Year 2000 Bug Year 2000 Problem Year 2000 Statement I expect many other re-phasings of the query would work as well. How you can be '...unable to find any Y2K information on FreeBSD on the FreeBSD website.' when about five seconds of effort will lead you straight to it is beyond me. Anyway, that's my rant over. I'm sure someone else in a better mood then me answered the guy's question.
