“The current stable release of PC-BSD available for
download is version 8.1. Version 8.2 is due sometime very early
next year (mid to late January is the likely release time frame),
and version 9 much later. A snapshot release of version 9 has just
been made available for download and testing. SysInstaller,
PC-BSD’s installation program, will pack more features than the
current version. This article will showcase those features.“Firstly, SysInstaller on PC-BSD 9 will have the Network Time
Protocol enabled by default. And you will be able to set the
hostname, something that is not possible with the current
installer. If you fail to set the hostname, your computer’s
hostname will be something like pcbsd-1777”
