Mr Ano Nymous...


There is actually a FreeBSD-2.0.1 'available' now, since a while.
Although is still 2.0.1-Development, its a quite full-fethered 4.4-Lite version.

So the answer is: Yes there is a coming 2.0 even if UC Berkeley have terminated
the BSD project. As for aavilability of FreeBSD-1.1.5.1-R, its still available
at many sites in US and Europe, just peek around.
