FreeBSD 8.1 beta1
This draft is expected in i386 for the May 28 and unless the release would cause delays on 9 July (RC1 calculated for 11 June and the RC2 for 25). While not much information available about new features, shortly after desktop version would iXsystems better known as PC BSD 8.1 and some preliminary changes that have occurred in the same state: KDE 4.4.3 update, error correction in pc-sysinstall, new options in the Software Manager, more functionality in ZFS, among others pending. Just for testing Irlo are some snapshots available in May . Also there are in FreeBSD current 9.0 for those who dare to deal with more problems than usual PC-BSD.
FreeBSD 8.0
We have among us FreeBSD 8.0 , one of the most popular Unix descendants. Among the new new experimental support for MIPS, better scalability, better file system performance, better measures against buffer overflow, a new USB stack, and so on.
The three most commonly used BSD
It increases the amount of computational units that are running: this is FreeBSD 8.0-beta4 (1.7 GB) and 64-bit FreeBSD 8.0-beta4 (1.8 GB)
It publishes the latest release of DesktopBSD 1.7 (1.8 GB) and 64-bit DesktopBSD 1.7 (1.9 GB). Its developer and maintainer leaves the fate of the community in pursuit of its components and features, or if you want the destination obsolescence and abandonment. Of its user community depends.
Released the very first second PCBSD8.0-alpha-20090914-x86-DVD (1.84 GB) at 32 bits and the pleasant surprise that the following betas and PC-BSD will be offered at 8 come with installation disk LiveDVD hard. What may lead to new distributions based on the set of packages. Pbi and no restrictions from iXsystems and no involvement of Canonical, or Oracle (which is being blocked by the EU as phagocytosis of Sun) or Red Hat. Stone free for members of the international community can. For the BSD license does not dare block our code.
Berkeley light bathe the scene during the September equinox
Berkeley's core is compiled in the latest version of Mac OS X (update of applications, significant improvements in performance, similar interface or lack of ideas is controversial for more later). But what is now announced for September 21 is the next release of FreeBSD 8.0 (also compiled for ARM) and is excited that so many open source applications have been ported to the heart of Berkeley;
behind the PC-BSD will contain it increasingly like most in aesthetics and functionality, software packages, open, free and available to carry any PC clone (this last feature that would make use of virtuoso Darwin / OS X, polemics aside).
FreeBSD 8.0 Beta 1
The FreeBSD team announced that version 8 of its operating system has entered Beta stage.

FreeBSD 7.2 Beta

What will come with FreeBSD 8
Ivan Voras has published on its website the major developments planned for FreeBSD 8.
Underlines the intention of leaving GCC as compiler base. Many users (especially commercial ones) do not get along with the GPL3 license, which is used after GCC 4.2.
PC-BSD 7.1 "Galileo" αlpha2
Faster than my updates to PCBSD is the development of BSD Unix FreeDesktop "beautiful" and simple when you install software, now based on FreeBSD 7.1-Stable and adding Xorg 7.4 (headaches for Kris Moore and colleagues) with KDE 4.2. I guess you already have full support in Spanish from the preferred WindowManager Linus Benedict Torvalds.
