Changes coming to TrueOS |
 |
On Monday we reported the PC-BSD project had changed its name to TrueOS, formerly the name assigned to the project's Server edition. TrueOS is not just a new name though, the project is going through a number of other changes too. In a blog post the project unveils several new features. Going forward, TrueOS will use a rolling release model, based on FreeBSD's "-CURRENT" development branch. The project is also rolling out a new tool, called SysAdm, which will provide remote administration capabilities to TrueOS and FreeBSD systems. TrueOS will use ZFS and boot environments to safely install software updates in the background without changing the user's environment. "TrueOS combines the convenience of a rolling release distribution with the failsafe technology of boot environments, resulting in a system that is both current and reliable. TrueOS now tracks FreeBSD’s “Current” branch and merges features from select FreeBSD developer branches to enhance support for newer hardware and technologies. Weekly automatic updates keep your system always up-to-date, and all updates are performed safely within system snapshots called boot environments. The TrueOS desktop uses the modular yet feature-rich Lumina desktop environment alongside the new SysAdm administration suite to provide a reliable desktop experience. SysAdm provides local and remote management of TrueOS and FreeBSD systems using a cross-platform graphical client compatible with Windows, Mac, and many Linux distributions. TrueOS is preconfigured for desktop and server installations using an intuitive graphical installer, taking the guesswork out of setting up a new system." Further details can be found in the blog post. |
