It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the availability of
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. This release is the next step in the development
of the 6.X branch, delivering several performance improvements, many
bugfixes, and a few new features. These include:
~ Addition of a keyboard multiplexer. This allows USB and PS/2
keyboards
to coexist without any special options at boot.
~ Many fixes for filesystem stability. High load stress tests are now
run
successfully on a regular basis as part of the normal FreeBSD QA
process.
~ Automatic configuration for man Bluetooth devices, as well as
automatic
support for running WiFi access points.
~ Addition of drivers for new ethernet and SAS and SATA RAID
controllers.
~ BIND updated to 9.3.2
~ sendmail updated to 8.13.6
NOTE: It was discovered at the last minute that the errata notes that
were
packaged with the release are out of date. For a complete list of known
problems, please see the online errata list, available at:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.1R/errata.html

Availability
-------------
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64,
powerpc, and ia64 architectures and can be installed directly over the
net using bootable media or copied to a local NFS/FTP server.
Distributions for all architectures are available now.
Please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing media
from one of our supporting vendors. The following companies will be
offering FreeBSD 6.1 based products:
~ FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/
~ Daemonnews, Inc. http://www.bsdmall.com/freebsd1.html
If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want to
use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISO
images. We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the
larger ISO images, but they will at least be available from the
following sites. MD5 and SHA256 checksums for the release images are
included at the bottom of this message.
Bittorrent
----------
The FreeBSD project encourages the use of BitTorrent for distributing
the release ISO images. A collection of torrent files to download the
images is available at
http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/
