Hello everyone! We are happy to say that the 1.12 release is now
available!

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/

This release is primarily a maintainance update. A lot of work has been
done all over the kernel and userland. There are no new big-ticket items
though we have pushed the MP lock further into the kernel.

The 2.0 release is scheduled for mid-year.

Of the current big-ticket item work, the new HAMMER filesystem is almost
to the alpha stage of development and is expected to be production ready
by the mid-year 2.0 release.

Interesting. It booted nicely to a root prompt, but how do I get a
GUI??? I tried 'startx', but was told the command was unknown. Am I
mistaken in expecting a GUI in the live version?

Best regards

The DragonFly live cd doesn't have a GUI. If you want to test DragonFly you
should install it and then use pkgsrc to install GUI.
