--- title: "FreeBSD 2.2.5 Announcement" sidenav: download --- = FreeBSD 2.2.5 Announcement *Date:* 22 Oct 1997 14:09:08 -0500 + *From:* "Jordan K. Hubbard" <[email protected]> + *Subject:* 2.2.5 RELEASE now available from ftp.freebsd.org (and some mirrors) 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 link:../notes/[release notes] for more information on this). FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE is available on ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD[ftp.freebsd.org] and various https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/mirrors.html[FTP mirror sites] throughout the world. It can also be ordered on CD from http://www.cdrom.com/[Walnut Creek CDROM], 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. The official FTP distribution site for FreeBSD is: ____ ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD ____ Or via the WEB page at: ____ http://www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/[http://www.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD] ____ And on CD-ROM from Walnut Creek CDROM: ____ Walnut Creek CDROM + 4041 Pike Lane, #D + Concord CA, 94520 USA + Phone: +1 510 674-0783 + Fax: +1 510 674-0821 + Tech Support: +1 510 603-1234 + Email: [email protected] + WWW: http://www.cdrom.com/ ____ Additionally, FreeBSD is available via anonymous FTP from https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/mirrors.html[mirror sites] 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 :).

If you are outside the U.S. or Canada, please get secure (DES) and eBones (Kerberos) from one of the following foreign distribution sites: South Africa:: ftp://ftp.internat.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD + ftp://ftp2.internat.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD Brazil:: ftp://ftp.br.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD Finland:: ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/unix/FreeBSD/eurocrypt link:../../[Release Home]
