   1. i read something in the news from FreeBSD 2.1 - will it come soon ( -> is
   it worth to wait that time for it ) or will it take a long time to come ? (
   i don't like to install now 2.0 and after a week an upgrade to 2.1 - then
   i'll better wait that week)

It's probably worth waiting for if you don't have any overriding
reason to run 2.0, in as much as we always try to release
progressively better "products" and certainly hope that 2.1 will be a
big improvement over 2.0, but it's up to you.  We don't expect to
release 2.1 until late January sometime, if not sometime in February,
due to the Christmas and New Years hols which will be eating a good
2-week chunk out of everyone's schedules.  I personally don't even
know which country I'll be in at the time! :-)

   2. i also read the question in the last weeks but nobody answered - here is
   it again: is anybody working on an EIDE support for FreeBSD ?

Not that I know of.  Everyone I know of is using their EIDE machines
in standard IDE mode, and it doesn't seem to bother them enough to do
anything about it (so far).

   3. thanks in advance

You're welcome.
