+ Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE Announcement

+ +

The Release Engineering Team is happy to announce the + availability of FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, the latest release of the + FreeBSD Stable development branch. Since FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE in + November 2004 we have made many improvements in functionality, + stability, performance, and device driver support for some + hardware, as well as dealt with known security issues and made + many bugfixes.

+ +

For a complete list of new features, known problems, and + late-breaking news, please see the release notes and errata + list, available here:

+ +

+ +

+ + +

Dedication

+ +

The FreeBSD 5.4 Release is dedicated to the memory of Cameron + Grant. Cameron was an active FreeBSD Developer and principal + architect of the sound driver subsystem despite his physical + handicap. His is a superb example of human spirit dominating + over adversity. Cameron was an inspiration to those who met + him; he will be fondly remembered and sorely missed.

+ +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE supports the i386, amd64, ia64, pc98, + sparc64, and alpha architectures and can be installed directly + over the net, using bootable media, or copied to a local NFS/FTP + server. Distributions for all architectures except alpha are + available now. The distribution for alpha should become + available within the next day or two.

+ +

Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing + media from one of our supporting vendors. The following + companies will be offering FreeBSD 5.4 based products:

+ + + +

If you can not 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 not promise that all the mirror + sites will carry the larger ISO images. At the time of this + announcement they are available from the following sites. MD5 + checksums for the release images are included at the bottom of + this message.

+ +

Bittorrent

+ +

As with the 5.3 release we are experimenting with Bittorrent. + A collection of trackers for the release ISO images is available at

+ +

http://people.freebsd.org/~kensmith/5.4-torrent/

+ +

FTP

+ +

At the time of this announcement the following FTP sites have + FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE available.

+ + + +

FreeBSD is also available via anonymous FTP from mirror sites + in the following countries and territories: Argentina, + Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech + Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, + Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, + Korea, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, + Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovak + Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, + Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United + States.

+ + +

Before trying the central FTP site, please check your regional + mirror(s) first by going to:

+ +

ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD

+ +

Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so on.

+ +

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

+ +

+ http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

+ +

For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The + FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation walk-through + for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at:

+ +

+ http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

+ +

Acknowledgments

+ +

The FreeBSD Developers deserve the most thanks. Without their + efforts FreeBSD would not exist.

+ +

Many companies donated equipment, network access, or man-hours + to finance the release engineering activities for FreeBSD 5.4 + including The FreeBSD Mall, Hewlett Packard, Yahoo!, Sentex + Communications, Sandvine, Inc., FreeBSD Systems, Inc, and + NTT/Verio.
