Hey at least I am not getting all horny about it like Mac people are about Leopard! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But yes, I have been looking forward to FreeBSD 6.2, probably the most important thing for me is binary security updates and Xbox support.

I'll take that as compliments, TankCatNinjaFish :wink:

Anyway, I have just been very excited about FreeBSD 6.2 for like a 1½ months, there's good stuff in this release like the new binary updates, Xbox support (Which I havn't had too much time to tinker with yet), bugfixes etc. etc.


Also, if you have a problem with my nickname, just address me by my real name, which is Troels. If you want to you could even use the Sri Lankan name which my biological mother gave me before I got adopted, today it's my middle name, it is Milinda, which means "king". :lol: :wink:
