FreeBSD, an operating system for x86 compatible, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures, is now at version 9.0 RC3.

According to the developers, this iteration should be the last release candidate for the upcoming FreeBSD 9.0. The final release builds should be available in a week or so.

"The third and what should be final Release Candidate build for the 9.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available. Since this is the beginning of a brand new branch (stable/9) I cross-post the announcements to both -current and -stable."

"But just so you know most of the developers active in head and stable/9 pay more attention to the -current mailing list. If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the -current mailing list." - was stated in the announcement.
