We’re pleased to announce new release of “The new JabirOS” after a long time! This version is based on FreeBSD 9.2-RC1. In this version , we’ve added ”OpenBox” as default window manager and “SLiM” as default display manager.
In this release , we don’t have any web browser, player or office suite. you can install them after using “pkg_add”.
And we have a new installer called “jabirinstall”. jabirinstall is a simple shell script. Installation process is very similar to ArchBSD/Archlinux. you can find installation guide here.
In picture , you can see “JabirOS + OpenBox + Xterm”.X11 , OpenBox , feh , nano , sudo , rsync and a lot of software are added in this release.

In addition to the schedule of talks, the event will host a nightly hacker lounge for developers as well as nightly doc sprints. If you are interested in learning how to contribute to BSD documentation, drop by the doc sprint room where doc committers will be available to get you started.
