| About TrueOS

| TrueOS has as its goals to be an easy-to-install-and-use desktop and server operating system, based on FreeBSD. To accomplish this, it provides a graphical installation to enable even UNIX novices to easily install and get it running. It pre-configures desktop environments, video, sound, and networking so that the desktop can be used immediately. A graphical software installation program makes installing pre-built software as easy as other popular operating systems.

TrueOS is a FreeBSD-based operating system which features a graphical system installer and a rolling release platform. The TrueOS team has announced the availability of a new snapshot, TrueOS 18.03, which includes fixes for the Meltdown and Spectre classes of CPU bugs. "The TrueOS team is pleased to announce the availability of a new stable release of the TrueOS project (version 18.03).

In particular, mitigating the 'Meltdown' and 'Spectre' system exploits make it necessary to update the entire package ecosystem for TrueOS. This release does not replace the scheduled June STABLE update, but provides the necessary and expected security updates for the stable release branch of TrueOS, even though this is part-way through our normal release cycle. Important changes between version 17.12 and 18.03: 'Meltdown' security fixes; 'Spectre' security mitigations...." More details on TrueOS 18.03 can be found in the project's release announcement.

BSD Release: TrueOS 17.12 |
|
TrueOS is an open source operating system based on FreeBSD's development branch. TrueOS provides a rolling release platform featuring the Lumina desktop environment and the OpenRC service manager. The project's latest snapshot, version 17.12, includes LibreSSL in the base system (replacing OpenSSL), Bhyve virtual machine support, and the latest drivers supplied by FreeBSD's 12.0-CURRENT branch. "Notable changes: over 1,100 OpenRC services have been created for 3rd-party packages, this should unsure the functionality of nearly all available 3rd-party packages that install/use their own services; the OpenRC services for FreeBSD itself have been overhauled, resulting in significantly shorter boot times; separate install images for desktops and servers (server image uses a text installer); Bhyve support for TrueOS Server install; FreeBSD base is synced with 12.0-CURRENT as of December 4th; FreeBSD ports tree is synced as of November 30th; Lumina desktop has been updated to 1.4.1." Additional changes and a list of key package versions can be found in the project's release announcement.
