Just a small suggestion.  With the imminent release of 1.1-GAMMA to be
followed one week later by 1.1-RELEASE, wouldn't it be better NOT to put
up BETA at this stage, given the rather large number of posts and mailing
list articles from people who were bitten by some of the BETA problems.

I'm sure all Aussies like myself appreciate your service and will wait just
that little bit longer to get a better, easier to install version.

I'd also like to thank the members of the FreeBSD core team and all other
contributors for all their hard work and for an excellent product.

I, for one, really appreciate your efforts!!

Cheers,
