GhostBSD 3.0 Gnome 2 and LXDE RC2 is ready for testing

Submitted by ericbsd on Mon, 10/15/2012 - 20:06

The first release candidate of GhostBSD 3.0 LXDE is now available for testing. This release includes the new installer features from the upcoming release. While this is a release candidate, 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 LXDE BETA1.
