FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE with Custom XFCE Packages

FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE has been released a while ago, and it is about time I get my custom version out to the wild! FreeBSD 10 brings on a whole new set of features, among them the new pkgng as the default packaging system. The custom ISO (download links below) will allow you to install an XFCE based desktop that includes lots of goodies for productivity, multimedia and Internet browsing:

The complete list of top level ports used in this compilation is available in the README-PKGNG file of the DVD, along with more detailed installation instructions. A VirtualBox image is also available.

Happy (desktop) FreeBSDing!
