1.11. Where can I get FreeBSD?
Every significant release of FreeBSD is available via anonymous ftp
from the FreeBSD FTP site:
- For the current 2.2-stable release, 2.2.8R, see the
2.2.8-RELEASE directory.
- For the current 3.0-stable release, 3.0-RELEASE, see the
3.0-RELEASE directory.
- 2.2 Snapshot releases are made once a day along the
RELENG_2_2 branch (post 2.2.8) as it slowly winds down in
maintenance mode. The RELENG_2_2 branch is currently being carefully
maintained by the legacy support folks and no changes other than
those strictly necessary for security or reliability enhancements
are now made.
- 3.0 Snapshot releases are also made once a day along the
RELENG_3 branch (post 3.0-release) as it continues on its way
towards 3.1-RELEASE.
- 4.0 Snapshotreleases are made once a day for the
-current branch, these being of service
purely to bleeding-edge testers and developers.
