Although not immediately obvious from a visit to the web site, (the main one being http://www.freebsd.org), the full story of FreeBSD's Y2000 compliance is listed under the Newsflash link (from Feb this year), and under the Documentation link. If you haven't read it (yet) : Short answer - it is Y2K compliant, yes. Long answer - although Y2k compliant, it's untrue to say that FreeBSD is 100% time compliant. Like all UNIX systems, problems will start occuring (unless fixed, of course) in 2038. --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za UUNET Internet Africa Support * FreeBSD enthusiast-www2.za.freebsd.org FreeBSD: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
