Note: For existing FreeBSD-GAMMA users. I will also be creating a similar set of scripts to upgrade from the GAMMA->EPSILON release. (They should be very simple, since things have changed very little, though some of the changes are very necessary for stability when kernels become very large) If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, flames, kudos, or whatever, send them to FreeBSD-questions@freefall.cdrom.com.
