If I remember rightly, 2.2 isn't expected to be ready until autumn/winter, but there is a 2.1.5 due out this summer, which will mainly be bug-fixes and minor improvements over 2.1.0, rather than all the funky new features which are going into 2.2. One of the distinctive features of FreeBSD is that it's released when the developers think it's more-or-less ready, rather than on an arbitrary date dreamt up by the marketing department. This is an good thing in my book, although it can be a bit frustrating if you're impatient to get your hands on all the latest goodies. 8-) -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
