FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE is STABLE!
Scott Long mentions...
It is my great pleasure and privilege to announce the availability of FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. This release marks a milestone in the FreeBSD 5.x series and the beginning of the 5-STABLE branch of releases.
Happy day! A lot of people worked really hard to see this through, and I am glad it has finally come. Go FreeBSD!
