PC-BSD 9.2 Is An Exciting Upgrade

One week after the FreeBSD 9.2 release that brought ZFS TRIM and LZ4 compression support, updates to DTrace, and kernel changes, there's now the release of PC-BSD 9.2. This release is quite exciting as besides pulling in the FreeBSD 9.2 packages the desktop-friendly operating system has some new changes of its own.

Besides carrying all of the FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE changes, PC-BSD 9.2 features bootable ZFS Boot Environments with GRUB2, a rewritten Life-Preserver utility for creating instant ZFS snapshots and other capabilities, an updated installer, a new boot manager GUI, PKGNG support to complement PBIs and AppCafe, all PC-BSD code has been migrated to GitHub, and there's a host of other changes to this desktop-friendly version of FreeBSD that ships with KDE by default.

More information on today's PC-BSD 9.2 debut can be found by their project blog.
