DesktopBSD lives on under new leadership
Following the September 2009 announcement that version 1.7 of DesktopBSD would be the "last and final release", a small group of German developers have signed on to continue the distributions development. DesktopBSD is based on FreeBSD using the KDE desktop environment and is similar to PC-BSD which also focuses on a desktop version of the BSD variant.
The four member development team led by Daniel Hilbert is currently working to update the project's web site and invites interested users to join the project. Those interested in helping to work on the site or the development of the distribution are encouraged to email the developers at desktopbsd@desktopbsd.eu for more information.
