Hi,

I have just one curious question, why is FreeBSD 2.2.x still being 
developed ?
This is maybe a stupid question, but i am only curious to know why ?
Is there any special reason for this ?

I work with FreeBSD since 3.5 and today my machines are working with 6.0

Thank you FreeBSD Developers for all your work !
I'm proud to say to my friends that i ONLY use FreeBSD on my machines !

Cheers,
Silves
