      Every time I've tried to use the pkg_add command, it always looks in a directory that doesn't exist (packages-8.1-release).

      2.0.3-RELEASE (i386)
      built on Fri Apr 12 10:22:21 EDT 2013
      FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13

      [2.0.3-RELEASE][root@myfwname.mydomainname]/root(1): pkg_add -r iplog
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/iplog.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/iplog.tbz' by URL

          Upgrade to 2.1 (FreeBSD 8.3)

          EDIT: I should look before I post, I see there's now a blog post. I'm going to update it now.

          I would, but I haven't seen a lot of news/information about it since it was released. I don't want to end up with any broken functionality. There's not even an announcement on the blog last I checked.

          Was this a known issue with 2.0.3?

              It doesn't bring enough joy and excitement to me that I would term myself "happy" because of it, however it does excite my childish-gimmicky love of the word 64-bit. I'm curious, have you run into any obstacles with 64-bit? Would it be worth running on my Atom 1.86 D2500CCE with 2GB of RAM? My memory utilization never rises above 6%, so the increased size of libraries wouldn't concern me.

                No - With anything less than 4GB just run 32bit.  In most cases to this date with most software, given a choice, 32bit is more developed, vetted etc.  If you need 64bit or if you think you might add ram in later, then run 64bit.

                ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D <<<<  Do those make you happier?

                    Well then…

                    I think it might be worth your time to go ahead with a 64GB install just to say you did if you can lay your hands on more RAM later.
                    RAM can be had for cheap and running squid with a RAM cache makes things speedy.
                    You can simultaneously fulfil your childish-gimmicky love of the word 64-bit while preparing for future upgrade.
                    Its supported.  http://ark.intel.com/products/59682
