FreeBSD generally has a 5 year support life:<p>> <i>Under the current support model, each major version’s stable branch is explicitly supported for 5 years, while each individual point release is only supported for three months after the next point release.</i><p>* <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/security/#model" rel="nofollow">https://www.freebsd.org/security/#model</a>
I can't get FreeBSD working on Amazon Lightsail. Always says connection refused when trying to SSH in, even if I've opened up all the ports on the firewall. Any tips? Be really nice to finally play about with it for £2.50 a month.
