FreeBSD 8.0 has been released!  

It was a great news for me when I learned that FreeBSD 8.0 already released yesterday. This release version improves on the functionality of FreeBSD 7.X and introduces many new features. One of these new features, I pay more attention to the function of support for 802.11s. If you have interested in these new features, you can refer to the following introduction.

  • Xen Dom-U, VirtualBox guest and host, hierarchical jails.
  • NFSv3 GSSAPI support, experimental NFSv4 client and server.
  • 802.11s D3.03 wireless mesh networking and Virtual Access Point support.
  • ZFS is no longer in experimental status.
  • Ground-up rewrite of USB, including USB target support.
  • Continued SMP scalability improvements in many areas, especially VFS.
  • Revised network link layer subsystem.
  • Experimental MIPS architecture support.


Now, you can download it from the following ftp sites or Bittorrent tracker :
