FreeBSD LiveCD 1.1 Ready For Download

Posted by timothy on from the best-way-to-sample dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's my pleasure to announce FreeSBIE 1.1, a LiveCD based on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. Some of the innovations since 1.0 include: A renewed series of scripts to support power users; An installer to let users install FreeSBIE 1.1 on their hard drives, thus having a powerful operating system such as FreeBSD, but with all the personalizations FreeSBIE 1.1 carries; and the presence of the best open source software, chosen and personalized, such as X.Org 6.7, XFCE 4.2RC1, Firefox 1.0 and Thunderbird 0.9.2. Moreover, many bugs were solved thanks also to the help of numerous beta testers which we are honoured to thank. For more information visit FreeSBIE.org"

Not with Anthony Schumacher delivering a laptop down the quarter mile in under four and a half seconds! Not with Bret Favre throwing them across the Gates of Hell. Not with...

    ...should it have a Live CD or a Terminally Ill CD?
