What "puzzles" me is that they call 5.x the "production version", even though they seem to know its not there yet. So (sadly), you can't run the fastest version on the fastest hardware. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
