On 3/30/06, Harrison Peter CSA BIRKENHEAD <PETER.HARRISON@dwp.gsi.gov.uk> w= rote: > I realise the answer to this question is "when it's ready", but does anyo= ne have a rough idea how close to being ready 6.1 is? > The 6.1 branch was cut on the 5th, this means you can cvsup to RELENG_6_1 branch and rebuild world to 6.1-RC. As for the release date of the official 6.1-RC1 builds... It should have happened yesterday, so expect it any time this week. 6.1-RELEASE should be released at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.... If you look at the schedule everything has been shifted out 1 month. If you want my opinion on 6.1, it's ready right now, I've been running a production server on 6.1 since BETA2, my main workstation at work since BETA4 and my main workstation at home has been running 6.1 since before BETA1 (tracking 6-STABLE). I've had no problems and feel that It's far superior to FreeBSD 5.x, It's also alot faster then 5.x. The more tester we have for the 6.1 release candidate runs the better 6.1-RELEASE will be! http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/index.html -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/
