Having DFBSD so young and calling former releases "a legacy" is kinda hoity-toity. ;-) AFAIK the DFBSD is not __finished__ yet so former versions were at best development releases. 2. Would you put the information about legacy into every nook and cranny of DFBSD documentation? Nope. What's the purpose then to litter DFBSD and mirror servers with the Doublespeak? ;-) Let bygones be bygones. ;-) Regards -- Przemysław Pawełczyk (P2O2) [pron.
