FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE Available

FreeBSD 6.4がリリースされたみたいです。
6系列はこれが最後のリリースみたいなので、そろそろ7系列へと移行しはじめた方が良いかもしれませんね。

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability
of FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE.  At this time 6.4-RELEASE is expected to be the
last of the 6-STABLE releases.  Some of the highlights:

       - New and much-improved NFS Lock Manager (NLM) client
       - Support for the Camellia cipher
       - boot loader changes allow, among other things, booting
         from USB devices and booting from GPT-labeled devices
         with GPT-enabled BIOSes
       - DVD install ISO images for amd64/i386
       - KDE updated to 3.5.10, GNOME updated to 2.22.3
       - Updates for BIND, sendmail, OpenPAM, and others

 Availability
 -------------

FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64
architectures.  The builds for the alpha architecture have not completed
yet and will be announced later.  FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE can be installed
from bootable ISO images or over the network; the required files can be
downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as described in the sections below.
While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all architectures,
they will all generally contain the more common ones, such as i386 and
amd64.

MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the
bottom of this message.

The contents of the ISO images provided as part of the release has changed
for most of the architectures.  Using the i386 architecture as an example,
there are ISO images named "bootonly", "disc1", "disc2", "disc3", "docs",
and "dvd1".  The "bootonly" image is suitable for booting a machine to do
a network based installation using FTP or NFS.  The "disc1", "disc2", and
"disc3" images are CDROM-sized (700MB media) and are used to do a full
installation that includes a basic set of packages and does not require
network access to an FTP or NFS server during the installation.  In addition,
"disc1" supports booting into a "live CD-based filesystem" and system rescue
mode.  The "docs" image has all of the documentation for all supported
languages.  The "dvd1" image is DVD-sized and includes everything that is
on the CDROM discs.  So "dvd1" can be used to do a full installation that
includes a basic set of packages, it has all of the documentation for all
supported languages, and it can be used for booting into a "live CD-based
filesystem" and system rescue mode.  Most people will find that "disc1",
"disc2" and "disc3" are all that are needed if their machine does not have
a DVD-capable drive.  For people with machines that do have a DVD-capable
drive "dvd1" should be all that is required.  If you intend to install ports
from source instead of using the pre-built packages included with the release
only "disc1" is needed.

FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM from several
vendors.  One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 6.4-based
products is:
