Daemon News is pleased to announce FreeBSD version 4.9, now available on four Compact Discs. FreeBSD 4.9 is the latest stable release from the FreeBSD Project, a worldwide consortium of professional software engineers. FreeBSD 4.9 provides up to date security enhancements and stability improvements over the 4.8 release. Version 4.9 also offers support for Physical Address Extensions on Intel Pentium III and Pentium 4 processors. FreeBSD 4.9 ships with support for more than 8,000 applications in the form of the FreeBSD ports system. The Daemon News distribution includes thousands of precompiled applications based on ports as well. New to the 4.9 release is a special Java edition, featuring the Diablo JDK binary installer from the FreeBSD Foundation and more than 300 Megabytes of Java applications, development tools, and class libraries on Disc 3. Disc 4 is also all-new, featuring the newly minted "Office Applications for FreeBSD" collection. A sequel to the highly successful "Office Applications for Mac OS X," this powerful set includes the OpenOffice.org application suite, GIMP photo editing, and hundreds more office productivity applications to make your FreeBSD workstation your personal assistant. FreeBSD 4.9 from Daemon News is available immediately from BSD Mall, and will arrive shortly in quality computer stores such as Fry's Electronics. http://www.bsdmall.com/ Daemon News, Bringing you BSD(SM). -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
