FreeBSD, an operating system for x86, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98, and UltraSPARC architectures, has advanced to version 10.1 RC4 and is now ready for testing.

The developers of the FreeBSD operating system have been working very hard to close the cycle for the 10.1 build and it looks like this might be the final version in the series. If everything goes well, we might get a new stable version of this OS next week.

"The fourth RC build of the 10.1-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, armv6, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64 and sparc64 architectures. This is anticipated to be the final RC build of the 10.1-RELEASE cycle," reads the official website. Only a couple of fixes have been implemented, so it's a good idea to update.

If you have an older version of FreeBSD already installed, you can upgrade. Just enter this command in a terminal:

code
freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.1-RC4
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
The official changelog comes with a complete list of instructions for various problems that can occur during the upgrade process. You can download FreeBSD 10.1 RC4 right now from Softpedia. Do keep in mind that this is not Linux, so things will work a little bit differently from what you would expect.
