A simple, elegant desktop BSD Operating System

Simple

GhostBSD provides a simple desktop-oriented operating system based on FreeBSD with MATE and OS packages for simplicity. In addition, GhostBSD has a selection of commonly used software preinstalled to make it easy on your computing journey.

Elegant

GhostBSD uses the GTK environment to provide a beautiful look and a comfortable experience on the modern BSD platform offering a natural and native Unix work environment.

It is BSD

GhostBSD is built on top of FreeBSD code, 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 called BSD for Berkeley Software Distribution.

New GhostBSD project website is online

After a week of quite intense brainstorming, discussing and setting up, we have decided the new website is ready for publishing.

So here we are, with a new community/project website integrated with phpbb forums, and with more features to come. Yes, the site and the old forums are now in sync, therefore you should be able to log in here using your old forum account credentials. New users need not create phpbb forum accounts. Instead, they should register with the project website to gain access to the forums automatically.
