Ken Smith has announced the first release candidate for FreeBSD 6.3: "The first of the release candidate builds for FreeBSD 6.3 is now available. There is one more release candidate planned, which will be followed by the release unless a major show-stopper issue crops up during testing. The release branch has been created so if you plan to use cvsup to update an already installed machine you should use the RELENG_6_3 branch. Or you can give FreeBSD Update a try, see the instructions here. The ports folks are getting very close to finishing up the release package builds for a couple of the architectures. I'm planning to fiddle a bit with figuring out the disc1 and disc2 package sets that we will be trying to provide as part of the final release." Here is the brief release announcement.
