Kris Moore today announced the first beta build of PC-BSD 9.1, a user friendly desktop operating system based on FreeBSD: "The
BETA1 images for the upcoming PC-BSD 9.1 is now available for i386 and
amd64 architectures! This beta provides both users and developers a
means to test out new features in the upcoming PC-BSD 9.1 release. This
snapshot may contain buggy code and features, so users are encouraged to
run it only on non-critical systems. Highlights for the upcoming
9.1-release: FreeBSD 9.1; KDE 4.8.4; new system installer greatly
simplified for desktop and server installs; new 'PC-BSD Server'
installation option - includes command-line
utilities like pbi-manager, warden, metapkgmanager and more...."
PC-BSD has as its goals to be an easy-to-install-and-use desktop
operating system, based on FreeBSD. To accomplish this, it provides a
graphical installation to enable even UNIX novices to easily install and
get it running. It pre-configures KDE, video, sound, and networking so
that the desktop can be used immediately. A graphical software
installation program makes installing pre-built software, known as Push
Button Installers (PBI), as easy as other popular operating systems.
