NEW • Development Release: DesktopBSD 1.7 Snapshot |
| The first development build of DesktopBSD 1.7, an operating system based on the recently released FreeBSD 7.0, is out and ready for testing: "DesktopBSD 1.7 snapshot. First, remember it's an early snapshot, so there will be certainly some problems! But apart from that it's DesktopBSD based on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. I did a first test, there are some minor quirks with the mounting tool and the scheduler is SCHED_4BSD, so it has got a performance drop, especially on uniprocessor systems. The first preview version will follow soon with SCHED_ULE activated and some other useful add-ons. So if you're eager to test, you're welcome, but remember it's an early test! You can download the snapshot at the usual servers and we have pre-built packages for FreeBSD 7 on the server." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: DesktopBSD-1.7-i386-SNAPSHOT.iso (1,349MB, SHA256). |
