Date: 15 Mar 1997 06:47:26 GMT Organization: Cyber Beach Communications Lines: 12 Message-ID: <01bc310c$e9177b10$214f96cd@reality> NNTP-Posting-Host: reality.cyberbeach.net X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1160 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:37077 Currently, it appears that there are three branches for FreeBSD developement, namely the 2.1 branch, the 3.0 branch and the various 2.2 offerings. When released, will there be any significant reasons for choosing 2.1.7 over 2.2 ? ie, will 2.2 be the 'latest and greatest' release along the 2.x branch or are there fundamental differences between 2.1.x and 2.2 ? And how about 3.0 ? I've loaded up a few snapshots and it seems great. Is there an estimated release date on that ? -Kurt
