#4Why do people link to ftp directories and not release announcements?
Probably because it hasn't been announced yet. Which begs the question why it was linked at all. There's not much to discuss or see.

That is the 10.0 release announcement. The directory linked here is not-yet-released 10.1.
As always, until the release announcement comes out, the release is not done. Until that time, there's always a possibility the release builds will need to be rebuilt for some reason.

That was for 10.0, this is someone thinking that 10.1 being available on FTP is interesting enough that we should all look at the ISO files.
The release notes will probably be https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.1R/relnotes.html - skimming through it reinforces that this is a minor release. There's fixes for security advisories, hardware driver updates and kernel tweaks.

I always do. It helps to have a virtual KVM in case anything goes wrong, but I've never seen it during updates.

Which VPS provider do you use for FreeBSD. Does anyone have recommendations?
