PC-BSD 7 Status Update PDF Print

The PC-BSD team has been hard at work over the past few months, preparing for the next major release of PC-BSD, also known as PC-BSD 7. This new version will be based on FreeBSD 7, and include KDE 4.1 as the primary desktop interface. We are currently releasing weekly Alpha ISO's, that allow us to test out the new features, and fix bugs associated with the switch to a FreeBSD 7 and KDE 4.1 base. Users who wish to preview this release and help out in testing, are able to do so by signing up on our Testing mailing list.  As soon as the Alpha releases begin to stabilize and bugs are hammered out, we will release a public Beta, and freeze the UI interface for the translation work to begin.

Also, a new version of the PBI Builder software has been made available today. This update will allow the building of PBI files & modules for the upcoming release of PC-BSD 7.

We at PC-BSD also wish to thank the developers over at KDE on FreeBSD , who have been instrumental in bringing KDE4 to the FreeBSD platform. Users and developers who wish to help them out in bringing KDE 4 to FreeBSD, are encouraged to test out KDE4 and report any bugs to the team.
