2007-02-11 BSD Release: FreeSBIE 2.0.1
Matteo Riondato has announced the release of a bug-fix version of FreeSBIE 2: "You may remember that FreeSBIE 2.0 was released on January 15th. It turned out it had some annoying bugs, one of which was especially serious, as it prevented USB mice from working. This fact led us, the FreeSBIE staff, to develop a bug-fix release, 2.0.1. All the bugs that have been pointed out were solved and this release has been more thoroughly tested, to offer a better FreeSBIE experience to our users. FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RELEASE (code name Black Mamba) is based on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, both in terms of sources and packages. It contains more than 450 pieces and 1.3 GB of software, all in a single CD-ROM." Here is the full release announcement.

2006-11-27 Development Release: FreeSBIE 2.0 RC1
Matteo Riondato has announced the availability of an unscheduled release candidate for FreeSBIE 2.0, a FreeBSD-based live CD: "The circumstances make me release a fourth ISO image which is not FreeSBIE 2.0, but FreeSBIE 2.0-RC1 (Release Candidate 1). This is due to the number of bugs which had been fixed after 2.0-BETA was released. If no major bugs are found, FreeSBIE 2.0 is going to be released not too long after FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE has been released. Hopefully you will be able to put a FreeSBIE 2.0 CD-ROM under your Christmas tree. FreeSBIE 2.0-RC1 is based on the RELENG_6_2 branch of the FreeBSD source tree and on the RELEASE_6_2_0 branch of the ports tree."
