    Finally, a decent framebuffer for FreeBSD. Whoopie! Oh and of course all the GGI goodness too. Yum.

    The developer status reports were all written just before 5.0-RELEASE (when it was still "anticipated"). It so happens that the person who collated all of the reports is the same person who managed much of the 5.0-RELEASE process, and partially as a result, the whole collection of status reports didn't get released until after 5.0.

    It's the second ISO image (for example, 5.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso). You'll usually find it next to the disc1.iso and miniinst.iso images, for all five platforms (i386, alpha, pc98, ia64, sparc64).
