Introduction
GhostBSD has started as a hobby in 2009 from Eric Turgeon and Francois Toussaint. See: A Brief History of GhostBSD
As main desktop Eric choose 
MATE.
Here you can get additional information about our Desktop Environment.
It is simply a question of manpower.
The Base
It is BSD
GhostBSD is derived from FreeBSD, and its roots go back to the University of California Berkeley Unix Research. Historically it was referred to as "BSD Unix" or "Berkeley Unix." However, today it is simply called BSD for Berkeley Software Distribution.
FreeBSD=>TrueOS=>GhostBSD
GhostBSD is based on TrueOS with FreeBSD 12 STABLE with our twist to it. We are still continuing to use TrueOS for OpenRC, and the new package's system for the base system that is built from ports.
In short: GhsotBSD = FreeBSD + Stuff that is not suported on FreeBSD
GhostBSD is becoming a slow-moving rolling release base on the latest TrueOS with FreeBSD 12 STABLE. When FreeBSD 13 STABLE gets released, GhostBSD will be upgraded to TrueOS with FreeBSD 13 STABLE.

- Why you should migrate everything from Linux to BSD
- FreeBSD is an amazing operating system

Who use FreeBSD
- It is used mainly on servers because of its stability. Who uses it: for examble Netflix or WhatsApp. Source:Thomas Krenn

GhostBSD Project Goals
The goals of the GhostBSD Project are to provide:
- A simple, elegant desktop environment to support your day-to-day computing needs.
- Easy to use software management program for installing any of the 32,000 available applications.
- Linux binary compatibility to run almost any GNU/Linux application.
- Well-designed graphical installation programs.
- Automatic hardware (e.g., video, sound, network, devices) detection and configuration.
- A hardened 64-bit BSD system that is unaffected by malware, viruses, spyware, and malfeasance.
- OpenZFS support for modern amd64 systems.
- The best user experience possible.
Developers
Main Developers
- Eric Turgeon and
- Joe Maloney. He is also the main developer of FuryBSD

Tasks
Community Developers
There are a lot of developers around the world who are interested in GhostBSD and show how to install other desktop environments.
See also: Community Build
Examples:
Updates
- Base system: In steps from FreeBSD/TrueOS STABLE X to FreeBSD/TrueOS STABLE X+1
- Applications: As rolling releases, nearly weekly and sometimes shorter. Every time if there are new updates from upstream available and ported to FreeBSD and GhostBSD.
