===Concept Continuation with GhostBSD 20.10.28===
+
=== Concept before '''GhostBSD 18.10''' ===
  
 
+
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'''.
This update removes
+
* portsnap,
+
* sendmail,
+
* freebsd game in base,
+
* freebsd-update,
+
* freebsd pc-sysinstall and
+
* bsdinstall witch is FreeBSD installer.
+
 
+
These are relics of the past.

The new ISO is using a zfs pool in the RAM. The whole file system is R/W, but not persistent.
