FreeBSD 5.3 is gereleased

Op de diverse mirrors zijn de ISO’s van FreeBSD 5.3 release te vinden.

FreeBSD 5.3 heeft een lang traject door gemaakt voordat het gereleased werd. Het is dan ook de bedoeling dat binnenkort de 5.X serie de productie release wordt.

De iso’s zijn hier al te vinden:

Scott Long zegt over 5.X serie
[quote]5.x was a tremendous undertaking. SMPng, KSE, UFS2, background fsck,
ULE, ACPI, etc, etc, etc were all incredible tasks. Given that many of
these things were developed and managed by unpaid volunteers, the fact
that we made it to 5-STABLE at all is quite impressive and says a lot
about the quality and determination of all of our developers and users.
However, 4 years was quite a long time to work on it. While 4.x
remained a good work-horse, it suffered from not having needed features
and hardware support. 5.x suffered at the same time from having too
much ambition but not enough developers to efficiently carry it through.[/quote]
