The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team announced the availability of FreeBSD 6.1-BETA4 and FreeBSD 5.5-BETA4. A couple of significant changes were made to 6.1-BETA4. First is a large set of fixes to the VFS layer and various filesystems that should significantly help performance under heavy load and also fix problems with forcefully unmounting these filesystems. The second large change is that sysinstall will now install both the GENERIC and SMP kernels and automatically select the appropriate one based on whether it detects one CPU in the system or multiple CPUs.

awesame, new, and quite unstable (just looking at the GNOME thread, xgl seems to be the source of many problems with latest release).
I think XGL will be there as soon as xorg 7.x will replace 6.9 ports. I think they are working on it, but it may take a few months (I'd excpect it before the end of this year, but that's just speculation).
I'm quite happy with xorg 6.9 + KDE - they are rock stable, and FreeBSD itself is quite fast on the desktop, so.
