 <p style="text-indent: 3em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px;">MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), and soon amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T) architectures. It was originally based on <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> 6.1 Beta.  The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind.</p>
 
+<h3>MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE</h3>
+
+<p>
+<strong>August 6, 2007</strong>  
+MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE is now available.  It includes several software packages
+such as ksh, sudo, OpenNTPD, gcc 3.4.4, BIND 9.3.4 (plus patch) and others in
+the base system.  Disc 1 ISO includes the entire Operating System and X11 (xorg 6.9)
+packages.  Disc 2 ISO includes a selection of additional packages such as 
+GNUstep, bash 3, zsh, and cups-base.  There are additional packages on our FTP
+server.  More will be added in a few days.  Only disc 1 is required for installation. 
+This release is intended for enthusiests, developers and people interested in
+new operating systems that can handle bugs.  The core OS is stable, but many
+elements such as ports are in flux.

+<h4>0.1-RELEASE Errata</h4>
+<pre>
+Installation issues 
+
+projectcenter.app package is missing dependancies on disc2. 
+mutt package is missing urlview dependancy on disc2. 
+
+GNUstep package includes gdnc which is missing libgcc_s.so.1. 
+
+bash 3 and gmake missing libintl.so.6. This can be fixed by uninstalling gettext 
+and building it from the port. A new package was placed on the FTP server.
+
+System issues 
+
+CVSUP example for updating src fetches CURRENT instead of RELENG_0_1 
+
+Using Virtual PC for Windows: 
+If you install MidnightBSD in VPC, you will need to set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" 
+in /boot/device.hints This will help with the "calcru: negative runtime of" issue.
