While [[GhostBSD]] supports all the features of the version of [[FreeBSD]] that it is built from, it also offers several features on top of that. The project offers live media that support booting into a graphical desktop. The X11 system is configured automatically during startup and usually does not require any manual configuration. An easy to use [[GBI|graphical installer]] assists in installing the operating system. | While [[GhostBSD]] supports all the features of the version of [[FreeBSD]] that it is built from, it also offers several features on top of that.

The main desktop has been changed to the [[GNOME]] 2 fork [[MATE]] and the project offers alternative desktop environments like [[Xfce]] as well. These desktops have in common that they use the [[GTK]] toolkit and therefore [[GhostBSD]] now means ''GTK hosted on BSD''. |

− | + | Before '''GhostBSD 18.10''' [[GhostBSD]] was based on [[FreeBSD]] directly. So [[GhostBSD]] was based on FreeBSD RELEASE until '''GhostBSD 11.1'''. Till then there was not such a platform like [https://www.trueos.org/ TrueOS]. Mid-2018 they came up with their changed concept to be a platform for other projects. TrueOS was based on '''FreeBSD CURRENT'''. | |
