All,
you may remember that FreeSBIE 2.0 was released on January 15th. It turned out it had some annoying bugs, one of which was especially serious, as it prevents USB mice from working. This fact led us, the FreeSBIE Staff, to develop a bugfix release, 2.0.1. All the bugs that have been pointed out were solved and this release has been more thoroughfully tested, to offer a better FreeSBIE experience to our users.
FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RELEASE (codename Black Mamba)is based on 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 672 megabytes.
The ISO image can be downloaded 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-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso) = b2f680d27c21bbfaf4fb90dce090a118
BitTorrent lovers can get it from
http://torrent.freesbie.org/FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso.torrent
Screenshots are available at http://www.freesbie.org/screenshots.html
(look for 2.0 screenshots, as nothing important has been changed since 2.0-RELEASE)
Release Notes, Manual and FAQ can be found at http://www.freesbie.org/share/2.0.1/manual/
Feel free to send feedback and bug reports to staff@freesbie.org .
Enjoy FreeSBIE and spread FreeBSD!
Thank you all.

[...] I downloaded the new FreeSBIE 2.0.1 release. It is very nice. The only thing I would have liked extra is to have Xfce start automatically from boot rather than to have to type in startx. People new to Unix like systems could find this difficult as the command is explained after the screenshots in the documentation. On the other hand it could mean more people read the release notes and find out how to do more with it. [...]
