For the past couple of months I have been alpha testing PC-BSD Hubble Edition at work. It was pretty rough, but with the latest alpha (1215), I feel like we’re almost there. I just finished setting up my first 64bit desktop, I know, ridiculous… Now that we have flash, wine, AND brand new 64bit nVidia drivers (Thanks Christian!), I can finally enjoy a 64bit desktop.
I’ve tested Hulu, YouTube, the Silverlight test page (I wish moonlight 2.0 was in ports *hint*), and Pandora.com works flawlessly. I’m also using 64bit PBI’s for Amarok, OpenOffice, Deluge, Vuze, and 32bit PBI for Wine.
I installed 64bit PC-BSD with ZFS on /usr. The new installer is really nice and has the 64bit nVidia drivers included.
Here’s some screenshots of different panel placements. I think it’s time for a different look and feel, what do you think?
