Popular Free *BSDs in Full Development

“Three well-known BSD clones are in their latest developmental
cycles and have recently released test versions. FreeBSD is closing
in on version 7.4 with a RC2, GhostBSD just released their 2.0 Beta
2, and PC-BSD 8.2 has seen its second release candidate as
well.

“FreeBSD 7.4-RC2

“FreeBSD 7.4, scheduled for final release on January 24, just
saw its second release candidate on January 23 about two weeks
behind schedule. The RC2 announcement acknowledges the delay and
confirms that final will also be delayed. In addition, a third
release candidate is expected around January 30. Issues with KDE
and GNOME meta-packages and other bugs were cited as the reason for
delays. Development of version 8.2 is running about a week behind
schedule as well.

“FreeBSD 7.4 will feature KDE 3.5.10 and GNOME 2.32.1. Other
popular software includes Pidgin 2.7.7, GIMP 2.6.11, MySQL 5.1.54,
Firefox 3.6.13, GCC 4.3.4, Xfce 4.6.2, and Xorg X Server 1.7.5.
