GhostBSD 3.0 RC4 is now available.

Submitted by ericbsd on Sat, 11/24/2012 - 17:38

A fourth development release candidate for GhostBSD 3.0 is now available for testing. The last development release was to buggy due to some last minute change. I decide to release an other testing release it might contain some bugs and other problems, which have not been discovered during beta tests so we still only encourage you to run it only on non-critical systems.

Changes since RC2.
