Gentoo/FreeBSD 6.2 and FreeSBIE 2.0 released

I bumped sys-freebsd/* to 6.2-RELEASE; tomorrow I hope I can release the stages, for now you can use the 6.2_rc2 stages and emerge -NDav world.
Today we (FreeSBIE team) released FreeSBIE 2.0:

All,

today is a good day, as we, the FreeSBIE team, reached our goal:
it's the day we release FreeSBIE 2.0.
Development cycle started on August 2006 and, after many months and a
series of four ISO images, an official stable FreeSBIE image is
available. It went under many changes, many experiments, many
bugfixes, many features' additions, but it was worth the work and the
time we spent on it. We must express our thanks to everyone involved
in the release process.

FreeSBIE 2.0-RELEASE (codename Clint Eastwood) is based on the fresh
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, both in terms of sources and of packages. It
contains more than 450 pieces and 1,3 gigabytes of software, all in a
single CD-ROM of 668 megabytes.

The ISO image can be download from FreeSBIE official mirrors, a list
of which is available at http://www.freesbie.org/mirrors.php

MD5 checksum for the ISO image is:
MD5 (FreeSBIE-2.0-RELEASE.iso) = bb98890aa8ce4fd9d35b5842baa34fdb

Screenshots are available at http://www.freesbie.org/screenshots.html

Release Notes, Manual and FAQ can be found at
http://www.freesbie.org/share/2.0/manual/

Feel free to send feedback and bug reports to staff@freesbie.org .

Enjoy FreeSBIE and spread FreeBSD!

Thank you all.
Best Regards

Can FreeSBIE run over NFS? I would like to put some livecd BSD image to my PXE bootable network.

Knoppix does such thing, you boot kernel with initrd via PXE where through append you can specify nfsserver where dump of livecd iso contents is stored. Works nicely.
