Rilasciata FreeBSD 6.3

Il logo di FreeBSDDopo due Release Candidate è stato annunciato il rilascio finale dell’attuale ramo -STABLE di FreeBSD! Anche se non sono state introdotte grosse novità (per quelle dovremo aspettare la 7.0) sono molti gli aggiornamenti di versione e di sicurezza che rendono interessante questa nuova release. Chi si voglia cimentare nell’utilizzo di FreeBSD sui desktop, apprezzerà l’adozione delle nuove versioni di GNOME (2.20.1), KDE (3.5.8) e X.org (7.3). Migliorato notevolmente – a quanto si legge in giro – il supporto hardware sopratutto sul fronte audio, rete e acpi. Consiglio la lettura di questa mini-guida per effettuare l’aggiornamento dalla versione 6.2 alla 6.3.

Ecco l’annuncio ufficiale del rilascio:
