| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[GhostBSD]] is a Unix-like operating system for desktop usage. It is based on [https://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD] and offers the [[MATE]] desktop environment. GhostBSD aims to be easy to install and offer an out of the box desktop system that is easy to use. The project goal is to combine security, privacy, stability, usability, openness, freedom and to be available for everybody free of charge.

| − | GhostBSD is derived from FreeBSD, and its roots go back to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution 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.

| − | <!--T:11-->
| + | |
| − | [[GhostBSD]] was originally based on [https://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | With GhostBSD 19.09, the base changed to TrueOS with FreeBSD 12-STABLE with our twist to it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Development of TrueOS ceased not long afterwards.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After some time using [[OpenRC]] (harmonious with TrueOS) we [https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=2201 reverted to use of FreeBSD rc.d].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We continue to use the new packages system for the base system that is built from ports.

| − | GhostBSD is a slow-moving rolling release. Bases for GhostBSD progressed from FreeBSD stable/12 to FreeBSD stable/13. Respectively:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <q>FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE is not a release, is a developing branch of FreeBSD 12 and FreeBSD 13 CURRENT is of the upcomming FreeBSD 13.0. I am rolling release of the FreeBSD 12 STABLE branch, and not of the RELEASE branch. In sort we have new feature before FreeBSD 12.2 release. STABLE basicaly mean stable ABI.</q>
