Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox OS
GhostBSD is a Unix-like operating system based on FreeBSD,[1] with MATE (previously GNOME) as its default desktop environment and an Xfce-desktop community based edition. It aims to be easy to install, ready-to-use and easy to use. The project goal is to combine security, privacy, stability, usability, openness, freedom and to be free of charge.
History
Prior to GhostBSD 18.10, the project was based on FreeBSD. In May 2018 it was announced that future versions of the operating system would be based on TrueOS.[2] In 2020, with the discontinuation of TrueOS, GhostBSD switched back to FreeBSD.[3]
