开发版FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2

         FreeBSD是一份UNIX操作系统，它面向i386、IA-64、PC-98、Alpha/AXP及UltraSPARC平台。它基于加州伯克利大学的4.4 BSD-Lite发布，并带有一些4.4 BSD-Lite2增强。它还非直接地基于William Jolitz的port，这源于加州伯克利大学i386化的“Net/2”也即“386BSD”，尽管386BSD中只有非常少的代码遗留下来。FreeBSD被遍布全世界的公司、Internet服务提供商、研究人员、计算机专家、学生，以及家庭用户用于他们的工作、教学和娱乐之中。

        Ken Smith has announced the availability of the second beta release of FreeBSD 8.0: "BETA2 is still a little bit 'rough around the edges' and we still have various debugging tools enabled that cause the system to perform worse than it will when those debugging tools get disabled. We don't know of any issues that will 'eat your data' or anything like that so in that regard it's safe but we don't recommend it for production use quite yet. If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the freebsd-current mailing list. ISO images for all supported architectures are available on the FTP sites, and a memory stick image is available for amd64 and i386 architectures."
