PC-BSD, a BSD distribution with the goal to be an easy-to-install-and-use desktop operating system based on FreeBSD, is now at version 9.1.

The developers of PC-BSD usually wait to release new versions after the guys from FreeBSD, but it seems they've jumped the gun on this version.

Highlights of PC-BSD 9.1:

• Based on the secretly released FreeBSD 9.1: • A new server option with PC-BSD utilities such as the Warden is now available via the CLI; • A new system installer has been implemented; • Support for ZFS mirror / raidz(1,2,3) during installation is now available; • Support for SWAP on ZFS, allowing entire disk ZFS installation, has been implemented; • Support for Warden to create Linux Jails, has been implemented.

A complete list of changes and new features can be found in the official announcement.
