14 DAY TRIAL // FreeBSD, an operating system for x86, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures, is now at version 8.4 Beta 1.
The developers of FreeBSD are sure that the current version of the operating system is mature enough and it won’t need more than one Beta version for the release cycle.
Users were also warned that cvsup and CVS are both deprecated, and while upgrades using CVS or cvsup may work for now, they will not be supported for security updates through the life of 8.4.
More details about this release can be found in the official announcement.
