It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. This release is the next
step in delivering the high performance and enterprise features
that have been under development in the FreeBSD 5.x series for
that last several years. Some of the many changes since 5.4
include:
- Significant performance improvements to the filesystem
and direct disk access layers of the OS. The filesystem is
now multithreaded and can take full advantage of multiple
CPU systems.
- Expanded support for wireless networking adapters and
new support for the WPA wireless security protocol.
- Experimental support for the PowerPC platform.
