Support for FreeBSD 4.10/4.9

2006-01-19 Thread Derrick Francis
Have a simple question.  If someone to request support for version 4.10 
or 4.9 how would they be supported?  Please let me know.  I need to 
verify this version of FreeBSD is still supported.  Thank you.

Kris,
   Thank you for the quick response.  That is exactly what I was 
looking for.

Generally speaking these old versions are not supported at all.  They
might still be receiving security support (see
http://www.freebsd.org/security/), but if you e.g. try to report a bug
then you'll mostly get people telling you to upgrade to a supported
version first (since after all there's a good chance the bug is
already fixed).

At this point you really need to plan to upgrade to the 6.0 series,
since that's where the future lies.
