I saw the light, no more in darkness. :) he he.

Looks like that would be a lot of work fur the programers? It sure would be fur me. I’m installing PC-BSD 9 on a Dell opt 745 right now. Going to be fooling with this, and see if I can get the compiz to work right in gnome. Wish me luck.

FreeBSD has 2 stable release tracks. 9.0 is the latest in the 9.x series and 8.3 will be the latest in the 8.x series.

I thought I had read where it said download FreeBSD 9.0 from the freeBSD web site? WOW I must be seeing things. Or have went back through time. :)

By it’s very nature, compiz should probably be installed as a port into the base system rather than a PBI so that it can help manage the X display without requiring the special path settings for a PBI.

Once 8.3 is released, they will update the release engineering schedule with tentative dates for 9.1: http://www.freebsd.org/releng/#schedule.

NO WIRELESS! it seems PC-BSD focoused mainly on the desktop ethrnet connection and never thought of the wireless issues.Just load most any window ,MAC or linux OS and immedialty they search for a wireless signal for the most part.

Their new installer is documented here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html.

However, you can use PC-BSD’s installer to install FreeBSD. Also allows you to configure ZFS and encryption during the install (not in FreeBSD installer yet, other than dropping down to command line).
