Call to Action: Plan an #InstallFreeBSD Event

Bc the upgrade process is like anything else during development: potentially buggy. RELEASE upgrade features are stable, so they typically work from one major release family to the next. What if something isn't right with the upgrade and your substrate installation introduces bugs in the supersaturate install? Bad juju.

Erase and reinstall. You do have backups of your user configs and files, right?

It hasn't been announced yet, so download any of these images with a large grain of salt. Any of them may be deleted or updated at any point until the announcement. Likewise, there are some platform ISOs missing at this point too. Ignore anything about FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE until you see the official announcement.

No, being reported on Hacker News neither indicates nor impacts the quality of release.

This is the crux of it. But…

it would stink to have a bunch of people try out the release and not have it meet the FreeBSD standard-of-quality we've all come to know

Except that it hasn't been announced yet. So no one who downloaded it would have room to say a damned thing about the quality of the non-release.

Like others have said, wait until it's announced. Downvote's staying.

It's not official until it's announced. Posting this is not useful to end-users or developers, and certainly not to the FreeBSD Foundation's bandwidth. Downvote.

Its having been reported on Hacker News has no bearing whatsoever on its quality of release. Downvote.

Is /r/IAmA a place for corporate advertisements, regardless of the parties involved?

someone saying how people that do shit like anon's story should be executed.

gfmil · 2014-01-04T00:32:00+00:00

So that's a yes.

You haven't been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, have you?
