FreeBSD is a free, open-source and UNIX-like operating system. Though relatively unknown, it’s a performing and powerful work-horse, capable of coping with massive work-loads whilest remaining fast, ultra-stable and rock-solid. Blogging about FreeBSD and operating systems based on this versatile, safe and secure OS, I want to generate more interest in FreeBSD and its dependants. If you need a reliable, rock-solid and performing system for either your desktop or servers, consider FreeBSD!

Published on November 11, 2009 in GhostBSD. 3 Comments

PC-BSD is currently the best well-knows FreeBSD based OS for desktop use, but it’s KDE based. Though there’s a Gnome PBI available, those interested in Gnome as desktop interface may want to have a look at GhostBSD, the Gnome based FreeBSD system for desktop use.

GhostBSD 1.0 has the following new features: Procfs, kernel sound support. Exaile, more Gstreamer plugins, Swfdec plugin, Xchat, cpu run coller.

The website is not finished yet (can do with some enhancing) and doesn’t have much of background info, but version 1.0 is available for download.

www.ghostbsd.org for details.

I tried to run this distribution in VirtualBox and it looks not very impresive. Dark-blue Gnome theme is terrible for me. Currently it’s only livecd, which is based on FreeSBIE.

I think that GhostBSD is more alpha than beta :)
