    Announcement
    ------------

    The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability
    of FreeBSD 6.0-BETA3.

    This BETA includes a full set of packages for amd64 and i386 architectures.
    Alpha has no packages, sparc64 has everything except for
    KDE and Gnome. The FTP install trees are available.

    We encourage people to help with testing so any final bugs can be identified
    and worked out. Availability of ISO images is given below. If you have
    an older system you want to update using the normal CVS/cvsup source based
    upgrade the branch tag to use is RELENG_6 (though that will change for the
    Release Candidates later). Problem reports can be submitted using the
    send-pr(1) command.

    The list of open issues and things still being worked on are on the
    todo list:

            http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/todo.html

    Since this is the first release of a new branch we only have a rough
    idea for some of the dates. The current rough schedule is available
    but most dates are still listed as "TBD - To Be Determined":

    Known Issues
    ------------

    Other than the items listed in the todo list there are no known
    issues with this BETA.

    Availability
    ------------

    The BETA3 ISOs are available on most of the FreeBSD Mirror sites. A list
    of the mirror sites is available here:
