Ex-Steve`
Moin,

nun ist es offiziell, den Mailinglistenlink reiche ich nach:

Code:
It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the availability of
FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.  This release is the next step in delivering the
high performance and enterprise features that have been under
development in the FreeBSD 5.x series for that last several years.
Some of the many changes since 5.4 include:

~ Significant performance improvements to the filesystem and direct disk
    access layers of the OS.  The filesystem is now multithreaded and can
    take full advantage of multiple CPU systems.
~ Expanded support for wireless networking adapters and new support for
    the WPA wireless security protocol.
~ Experimental support for the PowerPC platform.

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the
release notes and errata list, available at:

    http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/relnotes.html
    http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/errata.html

For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities,
please see:

 Availability
 -------------

FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64,
powerpc, and ia64 architectures and can be installed directly over the
net using bootable media or copied to a local NFS/FTP server.
Distributions for all architectures are available now.

Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing media
from one of our supporting vendors.  The following companies will be
offering FreeBSD 6.0 based products:

~   FreeBSD Mall, Inc.        http://www.freebsdmall.com/
~   Daemonnews, Inc.          http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html

If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want to
use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISO
images.  We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the
larger ISO images, but they will at least be available from the
following sites.  MD5 and SHA256 checksums for the release images are
included at the bottom of this message.

 Bittorrent
 ----------

The FreeBSD project encourages the use of BitTorrent for distributing
the release ISO images.  A collection of torrent files to download the
images is available at

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/torrents/6.0-RELEASE

Ich habe mal meinen privaten Server auf 6 umgestellt von 5.3 und ich kann es kaum glauben. Die Performance ist spürbar gestiegen. Wenn ich da jetzt per Web (der steht woanders) auf webmail gehe, da poppen die Seiten nur so auf. Auch per IMAP, mein Gott knallt das auf einmal!
