This release continues FreeBSD on the path of advanced multiprocessor
and application thread support and includes many improved and
widely-sought features:

Experimental 1:1 and M:N thread libraries provide kernel support
for efficient application multithreading. Support for Physical
Address Extensions enables Pentium Pro and higher CPUs to access
up to 64GB of RAM. Experimental Name Service Switch infrastructure
allows enterprises to seamlessly integrate with LDAP and Active
Directory services. Enhanced "jail" management, allowing
one server to provide many different "virtual machines"
with reduced administrator workload. New device drivers include
support for IBM/Adaptec ServeRAID controllers, expanded support
for USB 2.0 and USB Ethernet adapters, and Promise Serial ATA
controllers. Experimental support for the amd64 platform allows
FreeBSD to run on single processor AMD Opteron systems. Although
stability is greatly improved and many bugs have been fixed,
FreeBSD 5.1 might not be suitable for all users. More conservative
users may prefer to continue using FreeBSD 4.X.
