OpenBSD 4.0 - Where is it?
I admit that I am not the most up to date on the release process, but why is 4.0 not out on the FTP server yet if people are receiving it in their homes on CD? And how do I get on that list of people who get the pre-release? ICMan

Hi ICMan, I admit that I am not the most up to date on the release process, but why is 4.0 not out on the FTP server yet if people are receiving it in their homes on CD? 4.0 is due Nov 1st. People who pre-order, get their stuff beforehand. And how do I get on that list of people who get the pre-release? You pre-order. Just take a good look at http://www.openbsd.org/ and you'll see what I mean. 'We' do not get a pre-release (which might be -current at any given time, if you like to think like that), but the final and only release. 'We' just get it early, because -in Europe- Wim just really, really loves us and wants to make us happy. HTH... Nico

That's the time to make your order if you want your CDs early. :) -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |

It is not yet released, in particular, any required errata may not yet be complete. Search the archives, i recently explained this in more detail. And how do I get on that list of people who get the pre-release? Pre-order as soon as pre-orders are possible, and make sure you always pay as soon as you are asked to pay.

Hi ICMan, I am new to the list and I do not fully understand the process either. However, I believe that the project gets a large portion of its funding from the sale of CDs. So to give added incentive to buy CDs, those who pre-order get the release early. I think this is how it works but I could be wrong..

People who pre-order get cd's early if the cd's are done being made and are sitting around. It's all in the archives... Mike PS pre-orders do not guarantee early delivery... I'm still waiting for mine here in ny but it's ok because my 3.9 systems are running just fine and they can wait :)

You have to pre-order it off the website, see http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html It's a good idea; CD sales help the project, you get automatic male enhancement without having to pop pills and your breath will be minty fresh until the next release.
