Announcing NetBSD 2.1


Announcing NetBSD 2.1

Introduction

   The  NetBSD  Project  is  pleased  to announce that release 2.1 of the
   NetBSD operating system is now available.

About NetBSD 2.1

   NetBSD  2.1  is  the first maintenance release of the netbsd-2 release
   branch.   This  release  provides  numerous  functional  enhancements,
   including support for many new devices, hundreds of bug fixes, patches
   and  updates  to  kernel subsystems, and many enhancements to the user
   environment.  In  addition, all of the security fixes and critical bug
   fixes from the NetBSD 2.0.3 update are included as well.

   Complete source and binaries for NetBSD 2.1 are available for download
   at  many  sites  around  the world. A list of download sites providing
   FTP,  AnonCVS,  SUP, and other services is provided at the end of this
   announcement;  the latest list of available download sites may also be
   found at:

     http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/

   We  encourage  users  who  wish  to  install via a CD-ROM ISO image to
   download via BitTorrent by using the torrent files supplied in the ISO
   image  area.  BitTorrent  has  recently  been  added  to  the  list of
   distribution  mechanisms  and  its  use is strongly encouraged to help
   keep bandwidth available.
