All,
I want to inform you that a new FreeSBIE image goes public today. This image is *not* an official FreeSBIE image released by the FreeSBIE Staff, but a non-official, possibly bugged and unstable FreeSBIE image released by me.
This image is *not* FreeSBIE 2.0. Its codename is GMV, which stands for Gian Maria Volonte’, an Italian actor that played in movies as “A fistful of dollars” and “For a few dollars more”.
FreeSBIE GMV is based on FreeBSD 7-CURRENT as of 2006.08.09.00.00.00 UTC, with ports from the same date and time. FreeBSD HEAD branch was chosen because all my machines run it. Feel free to use my configuration to build a 6.1-STABLE image.
FreeSBIE GMV is oriented to security and rescue and recovery. If you think that some important software is missing, feel free to contact me. I already know that vim and dsniff are missing and am sorry for that, but these ports didn’t compile on August 9th 2006. The list of included software can be found at the bottom of this announcement.
What I want from you is feedback, as FreeSBIE GMV can be seen as an important step towards FreeSBIE 2.0, but please don’t see FreeSBIE GMV as FreeSBIE 2.0-PRERELEASE, nor -BETA. You’re strongly encouraged to send me feedback about our plugins, feedback about included software, feedback about software configuration. I will try to reply to every mail you’ll send to me at rionda@freesbie.org . Please specify [FreeSBIE GMV] in the subject of the mail.
FreeSBIE GMV can be downloaded from: http://people.freebsd.org/~matteo/GMV/FreeSBIE-GMV-20060809.iso
A mirror will be much appreciated.
The MD5 sum for the ISO image is:
MD5 (FreeSBIE-GMV-20060809.iso)=9aa45a3d5a2b5efcb7ee2fd242ad80c2
List of included software at http://people.freebsd.org/~matteo/GMV/GMVAnnounce.txt
As said, any suggestion for other software to include is much appreciated.
Have fun with FreeSBIE GMV!

[...] The only time milestone I impose myself is to release LVC (and if you read the announcement of GMV, you’ll understand what LVC stands for) around the October, 7th. [...]
