PC-BSD 7.1 is built upon the FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE operating system. FreeBSD is a UNIX-based operating system that provides a high level of security and stability. The Galileo Edition of PC-BSD includes updated versions of KDE (4.2.2) and Xorg (7.4). The latest version of KDE includes new window effects, screen savers, and better 3D Acceleration. PC-BSD exclusively features the Push Button Installer (PBI), a push-button software installation wizard with a wide range of applications. The latest version of the Push Button Installer improves PBI self-containment to increase reliability. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to updated versions of KDE and Xorg, PC-BSD Galileo features many improvements and bug fixes that enhance PC-BSD&#39;s general ease of use: <\/p>\n<p>                      <span style=\"display: none\">                                                                       <\/span> <!--                 numquotes=2;                 quote_index = 0;                 quote_naptime = 1000 * 4;                 quote_timeout = 0;                  function sequentialQuotes()                 {                     var i;                     for( i = 0; i < numquotes; i++ )                     {                         document.getElementById( \"quote_\"+i ).style.display = \"none\";                     }                     quote_index = quote_index + 1;                     if( quote_index >= numquotes ) { quote_index=0; }                     \/\/alert( quote_index );                     document.getElementById( \"quote_\"+quote_index ).style.display = \"inline\";                     if( enable_random )                     {                         quote_timeout = setTimeout( \"randomQuotes()\", quote_naptime );                     }                 }                 function randomQuotes()                 {                     var randQuotId;                     var i;                     for( i = 0; i < numquotes; i++ )                     {                         document.getElementById( \"quote_\"+i ).style.display = \"none\";                     }                     randQuotId = Math.floor( Math.random() * numquotes);                     \/\/alert( randQuotId );                     document.getElementById( \"quote_\"+randQuotId ).style.display = \"inline\";                     if( enable_random )                     {                         quote_timeout = setTimeout( \"randomQuotes()\", quote_naptime );                     }                     quote_timeout = setTimeout( \"sequentialQuotes()\", quote_naptime );                 }                  randQuotId = Math.floor( Math.random() * numquotes);                 \/\/alert( randQuotId );                 document.getElementById( \"quote_\"+randQuotId ).style.display = \"inline\";                 enable_random=false;                 if( enable_random )                 {                     quote_timeout = setTimeout( \"sequentialQuotes()\", 1 );                 }                 -->                    <\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square; line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: url(&#39;\/images_v4\/bullet_solid2.gif&#39;)\">\n<li>The new KDE 4 printer applet enables users to easily add and manage printers and print jobs without using the CUPS web interface. <\/li>\n<li>The Add \/ Remove Programs tool and the Update Manager have been consolidated into &quot;Software &amp; Updates.&quot; <\/li>\n<li>The Updater Tray has been modified into a small tray-only applet that shows users when updates are available. This is far less taxing on the CPU than its previous versions.<\/li>\n<li>FreeBSD ports and packages can now be created by utilizing the &quot;runports&quot; command.<\/li>\n<li>Greater stability for Flash 9 allows users to get higher quality from Flash sites such as Hulu and Youtube.<\/li>\n<li>Enhancements have been made to PC-BSD&#39;s System Installer, including upgrade functionality for those who wish to install PC-BSD while preserving their user data.<\/li>\n<li>Fixes have been made to bugs in the Wi-Fi and Networking tools, as well as to previous Linux Emulation problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> PC-BSD Galileo also features a native version of the Warden utility for server installations (on your desktop, you can double click the warden icon to install it). The Warden is a graphical front end to FreeBSD jails, or virtualized FreeBSD installations. The Warden makes jail creation and management accessible to a greater number of users, and provides a secure and isolated environment for all sorts of uses, such as a mail server, database server, or webserver, to name a few. Warden configurations, called Inmates, can be used to instantly load pre-configured jails into the Warden.  <\/p>\n<p> &quot;Galileo utilizes the latest KDE developments to bring style and functionality to the PC-BSD operating system,&quot; says Kris Moore, PC-BSD Software Development Manager, iXsystems. &quot;New KDE visual effects accent the stability and security of the Galileo Edition of PC-BSD. With new printing features and improvements to the Push Button Installer and Warden utility, PC-BSD 7.1 is now even easier to use.&quot; <\/p>\n<p> The PC-BSD user community is raving about the Galileo Edition of PC-BSD.   <\/p>\n<p>Arthur Koziol, a Student Computing Specialist, states, &quot;Out of curiosity, I&#39;ve played with all flavors of Unix since the mid 90&#39;s onward (BeOS, BSD, QNX, Linux, Plan9, OpenSolaris, etc.) but I&#39;ve never felt comfortable with using them as a primary OS much less switching full time. That is, until I discovered PC-BSD. Coming from a background of nearly 20 years in Windows, I&#39;ve always wanted to successfully run BSD and now I&#39;ve found an extremely robust, comfortable, cutting edge, and secure BSD-based OS that has all the requisite apps and utilities I need to use on a daily basis that works right out of the box. Wine makes running most Windows apps brainlessly easy and using PBIs to install apps is pure genius, succeeding where Linux fails.&quot; <\/p>\n<p> PC-BSD Galileo Edition can be downloaded from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcbsd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"linkClick( this.href );\">http:\/\/www.pcbsd.org<\/a>.
