Submitted by “The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team has released the first beta for version 8.2 and 7.4 of its popular free Unix derivative. The first betas will be followed by two release candidates. The final versions of FreeBSD 7.4 and FreeBSD 8.2 are scheduled for the 24th of January.”
I’m always excited about new FreeBSD releases.
A notable feature is SMP on PowerPC 970-based Macs. Kinda cool.
I haven’t been able to run it as my main OS in a while, as sound and wireless on my laptop refuse to work on anything except Windows Vista/7 (even though supported), but in a couple months when I get a new system that is fully supported, it’ll probably replace Windows 7 as my primary OS.
