+ | ==Introduction== | ||
− | + | GhostBSD has started as a hobby in 2009 from [https://github.com/ericbsd Eric Turgeon] and Francois Toussaint. See: [[A Brief History of GhostBSD]]<br/> | |
− | + | As main desktop Eric choose [[File:1329059652.png|35px|link=https://mate-desktop.org/]] '''MATE'''. | |

− | + | ==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 [https://www.trueos.org/ TrueOS] with [https://www.freebsd.org/ 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.<br/> | |
+ | In short: <code>GhsotBSD = FreeBSD + Stuff that is not suported on FreeBSD</code> | ||
− | + | 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. | |
