*Subject:* [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 6.0 Released

It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the availability of 
FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. This release is the next step in delivering the 
high performance and enterprise features that have been under 
development in the FreeBSD 5.x series for that last several years. Some 
of the many changes since 5.4 include:

    *

      Significant performance improvements to the filesystem and direct
      disk access layers of the OS. The filesystem is now multithreaded
      and can take full advantage of multiple CPU systems.

    *

      Expanded support for wireless networking adapters and new support
      for the WPA wireless security protocol.

    *

      Experimental support for the PowerPC platform.

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the 
release notes and errata list, available at:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.0R/relnotes.html

    Availability

FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64, 
powerpc, and ia64 architectures and can be installed directly over the 
net using bootable media or copied to a local NFS/FTP server. 
Distributions for all architectures are available now.

Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing media from 
one of our supporting vendors. The following companies will be offering 
FreeBSD 6.0 based products:

    *

      FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/

    *

      Daemonnews, Inc. http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html

If you can't 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't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the larger ISO 
images, but they will at least be available from the following sites. 
MD5 and SHA256 checksums for the release images are included at the 
bottom of this message.

    Bittorrent

The FreeBSD project encourages the use of BitTorrent for distributing 
the release ISO images. A collection of torrent files to download the 
images is available at:
