Weekly snapshot ISOs

Admittedly, the time between DesktopBSD releases is rather long. But we like to spend a lot of it making sure that what we release not only looks nice in the screenshots, but actually works well on your computer.
Still, for those of you who are always excited about trying the latest and greatest features, we provide weekly snapshot ISOs now. They are built every Saturday from the latest DesktopBSD Tools, the most recent FreeBSD 6-STABLE sources and an up-to-date ports collection. The ISO contains a standard DesktopBSD distribution: A live system that can be booted without installing first, an installer that copies the operating system to your hard disk and a large selection of packages for most of your every-day needs.
For now, the snapshots are only available for the AMD64 architecture, but we will start providing i386 snapshots soon. You can download the ISO files here:

Please let us know if you have suggestions or discover bugs in a snapshot.

It would be nice to know what is included in each snapshot. This way those of us that need some thing can see if it has been included yet.

I have a suggestion. I think that if you are going to release a 64 bit version that you should have a java run time that will run on this. I personally think that it should be installed with the system. I like using Moneydance and the only way to install this is if Java is installed already. With all the java items on the web I would think that this would be installed by default but I guess not. In the mean time I will go back to Mandriva but I hope you get this fixed as I would love to use yours again but will not until Java can be installed easily.
