Submitted by The desktop-oriented FreeBSD variant, PC-BSD, has put out a major release: PC-BSD 8.0. “The PC-BSD Team is pleased to announce the availability of PC-BSD 8.0 (Hubble Edition), running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-P2, and KDE 4.3.5. PC-BSD 8.0 contains a number of enhancements and improvements over the 7.x series.”
Hurray, hopefully they have a upgrade path, if not I guess I will backup and reinstall. Been running 8.x beta for month atleast.
absolutely love PC-BSD. this looks like its going to be a great release
PC-BSD 8.0: Great OS or The Greatest OS?
I woud prefer KDE SC 4.4.0. I have to install it in one of my pet machines to take a look. Previous versions were OK for me. I also believe that they should support Debian KFreeBSD in any possible way (PCBSD wil become the BSD Ubuntu).
“I also believe that they should support Debian KFreeBSD in any possible way”
Why should we turn everything into ubuntu? The FreeBSD userland has a lot of benefits that are lost in Debian/GNU!/KFreeBSD.
Maybe ubuntu should support KFreeBSD which seems a lot easier and would make a lot more sense, since linux is only the kernel and the rest of the distribution is the largest part of it.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now. Glad to see 8.0 has been released. Looks like I have a project for this weekend!
I love PC-BSD, it’s real UNIX desktop OS.
