• FreeBSD 7.2-RC2 The FreeBSD guys have put out RC2 for the 7.2 release and as of now there are no known major bugs to impact the planned May 4 announcement for the stable release of 7.2. This version switches from KDE3 to KDE4, but has one bug for KDE4 that requires you to manually build “lame” due to licensing issues preventing them from including a pre-built version. They feel that all other major known issues have been addresses.
