    The final release of 5.0 will be, IMO, as great for NetBSD as the release of 7.0 was for FreeBSD. I may even make the switch from Free to Net...

    I hope ath5k and the related HAL issue is fixed (in their wiki on ASUS netbook, it says "might be fixed").

    I hope, I'm really looking forward to the 5.0 release since the beta has been awesome so far.

    And I want to try out FreeBSD again since last time I tried it with KDE it was just ungodly slow.

    I'm not a KDE fan, and only use KDE on FreeBSD when testing PC-BSD and DesktopBSD releases (these experiences were positive until the adoption of KDE 4). Otherwise, I stick with ion2 mostly.

    RC 2 is out!
    On behalf of the NetBSD Release Engineering team, I am proud to announce
    that the second release candidate of NetBSD 5.0 is now available for
    download.

    Since RC1, 103 tickets were pulled up. Interested readers can find the
    details of these tickets in src/doc/CHANGES-5.0. RC2 represents a great
    deal of progress over RC1, but with that amount of change, increased
    time for testing is required. To put it bluntly, there will definitely
    be a third release candidate. We are aware of a number of
    release-blocking issues, but it is important that we get a jump on
    testing the many changes made since RC1.

    Binaries of RC2 can be downloaded from

    ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5-0-RC2/

    Of course, those already tracking the netbsd-5 branch by source should
    continue to to so, and the netbsd-5-0-RC2 tag is available if you prefer
    to check out the RC2 sources specifically.

    I'd like to thank all those who have helped so far in testing and
    providing feedback. Please keep up the good work, it is very much
    appreciated!

    Enjoy,
    Soren
