FreeBSD bilver.wjv.com 4.10-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.10-PRERELEASE #12: Wed May 19 19:49:29 EDT 2004     root at bilver.wjv.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BILVER  i386

Notice that the above is 4.10-PRERELEASE and was built YESTERDAY
and has been running for just over 12 hours.  This replaced the
fist 4.10 Beta and two RCs releases.  This machine usually gets
rebuilt completely every 2 to three weeks [it's a 15 minute
install] as I use it to check before updating others.  The
production machines are running RELEASE 4.9-p8.

BSD releases are strictly numerical and 10 follows 9. :-)
