There's a full listing of the various project mailing lists at: http://www.freebsd.org/ Under "Support", click on "Mailing Lists", then "Mailing Lists". You can then look at the charter for any of the mailing lists and pretty quickly get to the archives to see if it has information of interest to you. A few that you may want to look into, depending on what type of information you're interested in: freebsd-announce: Major announcements about FreeBSD, including notice of new releases. freebsd-security-notifications: Security notices about recently-fixed critical issues with FreeBSD. In my opinion, every FreeBSD user should subscribe to this. cvs-all: Every change made to the FreeBSD source code. Note that on a typical day, dozens of patches get committed to various FreeBSD programs. Whether or not a particular patch is of interest to you is a different matter, of course. There are also the weekly source code summaries posted to freebsd-current and also available at: http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ And, of course, there are the freebsd-current and freebsd-stable discussion lists. If you're using FreeBSD-CURRENT or FreeBSD-STABLE (as opposed to one of the "official releases") it is highly recommended that you subscribe to one of these. Lower volume than -questions, and it's where a lot of "heads up" announcements are posted by the developers about major changes. Tim Kientzle
