Announce: FreeSBIE-2.0.1 Available

All,

you may remember that FreeSBIE 2.0 was released on January 15th. It turned out it had some annoying bugs, one of which was especially serious, as it prevents USB mice from working. This fact led us, the FreeSBIE Staff, to develop a bugfix release, 2.0.1. All the bugs that have been pointed out were solved and this release has been more thoroughfully tested, to offer a better FreeSBIE experience to our users.

FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RELEASE (codename Black Mamba)is based on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, both in terms of sources and of packages. It contains more than 450 pieces and 1.3 gigabytes of software, all in a single CD-ROM of 672 megabytes.

The ISO image can be downloaded from FreeSBIE official mirrors, a list of which is available at http://www.freesbie.org/mirrors.php .

MD5 checksum for the ISO image is:
MD5 (FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso) = b2f680d27c21bbfaf4fb90dce090a118

BitTorrent lovers can get it from
http://torrent.freesbie.org/FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso.torrent

Screenshots are available at http://www.freesbie.org/screenshots.html
(look for 2.0 screenshots, as nothing important has been changed since 2.0-RELEASE)

Release Notes, Manual and FAQ can be found at http://www.freesbie.org/share/2.0.1/manual/

Feel free to send feedback and bug reports to staff@freesbie.org .

Enjoy FreeSBIE and spread FreeBSD!

Thank you all.

Testers Wanted: FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RC2 available

A new ISO image is available, FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RC2. It is the second release candidate for FreeSBIE 2.0.1, and hopefully the last before the release. I’d like to thank all the testers who reported bugs.
You can get it from our BitTorrent server: http://torrent.freesbie.org/FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RC2.iso.torrent
If I don’t get any additional bug report in the next 7 days, I’ll release this image as FreeSBIE 2.0.1, so if you’re interested in FreeSBIE, please give RC2 a try.
Thanks in advance.
