[PC-BSD Testing] PCBSD7 Alpha Test Available

[Kris Moore]

I've just finished uploaded a very early test release of PC-BSD7, which 
is based off of FreeBSD 7.0 release. You may note that that we have 
named it PCBSD7, and this is on purpose. We will be changing our 
versioning scheme for this next release to correspond with FreeBSD, thus 
PC-BSD 7.0 will be based off of FreeBSD 7.0, PC-BSD 7.1 on FreeBSD 7.1, 
and so forth. This should help make it obvious as to what version of BSD 
we are running, and keep us more in line with FreeBSD itself.

This release is a ALPHA, which means it is NOT feature complete yet, and 
should only be used for early testing. I know for a fact most PBI's will 
NOT work on it, since I haven't yet implemented all the legacy library 
support from FreeBSD 6. If you are able to test this release, what I'm 
most interesting in is feedback as to hardware support, or installation 
problems. I.E. If there is something that works in FreeBSD 7.0, but does 
not appear to be working in PC-BSD, please let us know so we can get it 
fixed.
