Yesterday morning, I was happy :). I bought my 2.1.6 walnut creek cdrom (there is some delay between France and the U.S.) and plan to upgrade my system. Yesterday evening, I was sad :(. I have read from questions mailing list that due to some security problems 2.1.6 will be replaced by 2.1.7. What's sort of problems (kernel, TCP/IP, commands) ?? Is the 2.1.7-Release will be available from walnut creek or only on ftp ?? I don't have the possibility to ftp'ing FreeBSD from mirror sites. I always wait for the FreeBSD (walnut creek) cdrom to be available in France. I have a 2.1.5 system used by 10 users. This system is configured as NIS client with NFS mounting. Should I upgrade to 2.1.6 or wait for 2.1.7 or even 2.2 ??? I don't really want to start a FreeBSD-Release cd-rom collection :). pbl@dorotech.fr
