MidnightBSD是从FreeBSD派生出的操作系统。该项目的一个关键性目标是创建一份易于使用的桌面环境,并使用图形化的ports管理,以及采用GNUstep的系统配置。该操作系统的主体将沿用BSD许可证。MidnightBSD是FreeBSD 6.1 beta的分支。

Lucas Holt has announced the availability of MidnightBSD 0.7, a new stable release of the project's FreeBSD-derived operating system with focus on desktop use: "I’m happy to announce the availability of MidnightBSD 0.7 RELEASE. This release is primarily for stabilization, ZFS and mport package tool enhancements. Upgrading from source - when upgrading from 0.6, you will need to install src/kerberos5/lib/libroken before building world. Security: expat - multiple integer overflows have been discovered in the XML_GetBuffer() function in the expat library; kernel - fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions; TCP Reassembly resource exhaustion bug - there is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly queues into a per-VNET limit...."
