Testers,

We've gotten a PC-BSD 8.0 ALPHA ISO to the point where the brave can
begin to take a look at some of it's
new features, and test out the new FreeBSD 8 on your hardware. This
release is for 32bit only, after FreeBSD 8.0
is released we'll begin the amd64 builds as well. Also, we have not
begun to build the PBI tree for 8.0, and will
do so after FreeBSD 8.0 releases. However, you can still install 7.x
PBIs on 8.0, but they may not all
perform properly.

*WARNING* *WARNING* *WARNING*

This is obviously a very early alpha build, so expect plenty of bugs
and missing features. This is mainly
a release for previewing what's to come, we will begin a more serious
bug hunt after we finish implementing all
the new features for 8.0.

*WARNING* *WARNING* *WARNING*
