Don't worry FreeBSD is sti= ll > my choice for easy of use and stability. Just a suggestion. Yes. The latest release is certainly available as a torrent, and documented as such in the release announcement: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/announce.html Release via torrent is still considered experimental, which is probably why it isn't mentioned more prominently on the web site. See: http://people.freebsd.org/~kensmith/4.11-torrent/ 5.3-RELEASE is also available as a torrent. =20 Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 8 Dane Court Manor School Rd PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Tilmanstone Tel: +44 1304 617253 Kent, CT14 0JL UK --oC1+HKm2/end4ao3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iQCVAwUBQhr6bJr7OpndfbmCAQKmDAP9EQNoxhEVppK05I2oJx3vWPLXCxaqsWnC YUNClSzHblErq6Fhe5rb5VF1GJbp/LhRh0yahGW6FMOWLZayD+1PqIArlMuUIIV+ gewcSjIoHBX/WRqUR4j9OWMPx1CRP7peAoUemnaXEm7x4mVxOwAAa78riYiz7GQG um/FuXZLMOo= =iomg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --oC1+HKm2/end4ao3--
