I'm very happy to hear that you have volunteered to produce monthly ISO's for the FreeBSD Project that will encompass the security updates. I look forward to obtaining these ISO's! It tremendously benefits the project when folks such as yourself spend the time on such things to benefit the rest of us! Thanks again!
