GhostBSD is based on Trueos, and TrueOS is based on FreeBSD. Although the TrueOS Project strives to ensure that each release of TrueOS is as stable as possible, bugs occasionally creep into the process.

As these problems are discovered and fixed, they are noted in [https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/errata.html ''12.0-RELEASE Errata'' page on the FreeBSD web site]. Check the errata before installing to make sure that there are no problems that might affect the installation.
