Development Release: FreeBSD 8.0-RC3 |
 |
Ken Smith has announced the availability of the third and final release candidate for FreeBSD 8.0: "The third and hopefully last of the release candidates for the FreeBSD 8.0 release cycle is now available. Unless something catastrophic comes up within the next couple of days we will begin the final builds for 8.0-RELEASE. There is one known issue with the igb(4) driver we are still deciding whether or not to fix it as part of 8.0-RELEASE versus doing an errata notice for it some time after the release is out. It has been patched in head, and the SVN commit for it is r199192. If any of you are able to give that patch a try on a machine with the igb(4) NIC it would be appreciated. ISO images for all supported architectures are available on the FTP sites, and a 'memory stick' image is available for amd64/i386 architectures." Here is the full release announcement. Download: 8.0-RC3-i386-dvd1.iso.gz (1,784MB, MD5), 8.0-RC3-amd64-dvd1.iso.gz (1,848MB, MD5). |

| About FreeBSD |
| FreeBSD is a UN*X-like operating system for the i386, IA-64, PC-98, Alpha/AXP, and UltraSPARC platforms based on U.C. Berkeley's "4.4BSD-Lite" release, with some "4.4BSD-Lite2" enhancements. It is also based indirectly on William Jolitz's port of U.C. Berkeley's "Net/2" to the i386, known as "386BSD", though very little of the 386BSD code remains. FreeBSD is used by companies, Internet Service Providers, researchers, computer professionals, students and home users all over the world in their work, education and recreation. |
