<b>From:</b> "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com><br>
<b>Subject:</b> 2.2.5 RELEASE now available from ftp.freebsd.org (and some mirrors)</p>
<p>It is my great pleasure, as always, to announce the release of
FreeBSD 2.2.5, our next release on the 2.2-stable branch. Those
folks who are still running 2.1.x and wish to upgrade to 2.2
technology are now encouraged to do so as 2.2.5 has reached an
equivalent level of stability in all of our tests. A number of
annoying problems with 2.2.2 have also been fixed (see the <a
href="notes.html">release notes</a> for more information on
this).</p>
<p>FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE is available on <A
HREF="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD">ftp.freebsd.org</A> and
various <A HREF="&base/handbook/mirrors.html">FTP mirror
sites</A> throughout the world. It can also be ordered on CD
from <a href="http://www.cdrom.com/">Walnut Creek CDROM</a>, from
where it will be shipping shortly as a new 4 CD set containing a
lot of extra stuff of interest to programmers and general users
alike.</p>
<p>The official FTP distribution site for FreeBSD is:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Or via the WEB page at:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/">http://www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And on CD-ROM from Walnut Creek CDROM:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Walnut Creek CDROM<br>
4041 Pike Lane, #D<br>
Concord CA, 94520 USA<br>
Phone: +1 510 674-0783<br>
Fax: +1 510 674-0821<br>
Tech Support: +1 510 603-1234<br>
Email: <a href="mailto:info@cdrom.com">info@cdrom.com</a><br>
WWW: <a href="http://www.cdrom.com/">http://www.cdrom.com/</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Additionally, FreeBSD is available via anonymous FTP from <A
HREF="&base/handbook/mirrors.html">mirror sites</A> in Argentina,
Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Japan,
Korea, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa,
Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and the UK (among other countries :).
Please check your regional mirrors first by going to:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD</p>
</blockquote>
<p>since ftp.freebsd.org is itself rather overloaded at the present time
(Id software and Slackware Linux chose the same time to release their
latest products :).</p>
<p>The latest versions of export-restricted code for FreeBSD (2.0C or
later) (eBones and secure) are also being made available at the
following locations. If you are outside the U.S. or Canada, please get
secure (DES) and eBones (Kerberos) from one of the following foreign
distribution sites:</p>
