GhostBSD 2.0 Details

 

FamousWhy Editor:
GhostBSD is a FreeBSD-based operating system with the GNOME desktop environment. To be more precise, it is based on FreeBSD 8.0 and GNOME 2.28.2.. At this moment it is distributed only in a form of a live CD, but it the future it is expected to be installable on a disk.

If you are not an UNIX operating system user, probably you are not familiar with the terms of FreeBSD and GNOME.

FreeBSD is a free Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). We must specify that it is not a clone of UNIX, it only works like UNIX, with UNIX-compliant internals and system APIs. FreeBSD is generally regarded as reliable and robust operation system.

GNOME (abbreviation of GNU Network Object Model Environment) is a desktop environment—a graphical user interface that runs on top of a computer operating system—composed entirely of free and open source software.

GhostBSD combines the two of the above software into a brand new operating system.

Because there are no new user friendly distributions of FreeBSD based on GNOME, the GhostBSD project's goal is to improve GNOME desktop environment on a FreeBSD system.

There are four versions of GhostBSD available at this moment: two for GhostBSD x86 (GhostBSD-1.0 and GhostBSD-1.5 Beta) and two for GhostBSD 64amd (GhostBSD-1.0-amd64 and GhostBSD-1.5-amd64 Beta) GhostBSD includes some full applications like Thunderbird, Abiword, Gnumeric, Geany, Planner, Gimp and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.

GhostBSD also includes features like Procfs, kernel sound support, Exaile, Gstreamer plugins, Swfdec plugin, Xchat.

Because it is a BETA, the developers included only the backend of PC-BSD installer; they have not included an option to install GhostBSD. The creators will gladly accept your emails with bugs you may find or solutions to the problems.

Why is GhostBSD famous?

GhostBSD is a FreeBSD- based operating system with the GNOME desktop environment, having the only purpose to implement a Gnome BSD to make the job easier to the new people in the world of BSD.
