Kiadták a FreeBSD 4.6.2-t. Ez az a fix point-release, amely javít számos IDE ATA problémát, vagy megszüntet olyan újabb biztonsági hibákat amelyeket az sshd, openssl, zlib programokban találtak. Ezenkívül javít néhány hibát a syncookie-kal és a resolverrel kapcsolatban. További változásokkal kapcsolatos leírást a release notesben találsz (i386, Aplha) a FreeBSD weboldalon.
A stuffot le tudod tölteni a hivatalos FreeBSD FTP szerverről, vagy valamelyik mirrorról.

Subject: FreeBSD 4.6.2 now available
I am happy to announce the availability of FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE, a maintenance release of the FreeBSD -STABLE development branch. Since FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE in June 2002, we have resolved several ATA-related problems, updated the system OpenSSL and OpenSSH components, and
addressed several security issues.
For a list of new features and known problems, please see the release notes and errata list, available here:

Availability
--------------
FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE supports the i386 and alpha architectures and can be installed directly over the net using the boot floppies or copied to a local NFS/FTP server. Distributions for the i386 are available now. As of this writing, the final builds for the alpha architecture are in progress and will be made available shortly.
We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the larger ISO images, but they will at least be available from:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org
ftp://ftp2.FreeBSD.org
ftp://ftp.dk.FreeBSD.org
ftp://ftp.dk.FreeBSD.org
ftp://ftp.tw.FreeBSD.org
ftp://ftp10.tw.FreeBSD.org
If you can't afford FreeBSD on media, are impatient, or just want to use it for evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISO images, otherwise please continue to support the FreeBSD Project by purchasing media from one of our supporting vendors. The following companies will be offering FreeBSD 4.6.2 based products:
FreeBSD Mall, Inc. http://www.freebsdmall.com/
FreeBSD Services Ltd. http://www.freebsd-services.com/
Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so on.
More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation walk-through for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at:
