The BETA 3 is out.

Posted on Oct 30, 2011 in News

The GhostBSD release is late from FreeBSD 9.0 release status. We have release only release the beta3 on Sunday, October 30 2011.

 —list of bug fixed—

• The Auto mount on amd64 and Pitivi on amd64.
• The free space output on the GUI and TEXT BASE installer.
• The second install option on the TEXT BASE installer.
• The Linux base system compatibility on the DVD.
• The Linux flash player on the DVD(Note: Linux flash on old machine will slow down and lag Firefox browsing).

For more info on the Base OS read FreeBSD 9.0 release status.

To install GhostBSD you have two option. The new option is by clicking on the GhostBSD Installer icon or Typing gbi on terminal for GUI installation. The typing ginstall in a terminal for the new text base installer.

Ginstall is a great tool for those can get to GUI or their keyboard and mouse don’t work on the GUI. Read this topic for help.

If you see any typos or grammar errors please let us know about it. The team of developers are not native English speaking people.

You will see GhostBSD lite(CD) and GhostBSD(DVD), both have the installer. The difference is GhostBSD lite is a smaller version to fit on a CD. A script will be released soon. So the rest of the apps and configuration can be added later.

Note: The GhostBSD 2.5 Beta3 amd64 lite iso is missig du to a lack of time.

Next release is RC1 it will be release in 1 or 2 week if all go well.

Report all bug or issue to the forum please!

Get GhostBSD!

Forgive us for changing the forum again

About the last change:

Unfortunatly, we have lost all the info of the old one. We were facing security problems with pressbb. We had lost control over bots and spiders.

With phpbb we will have more security and more features to control the flow of information.

We have added a new section called Other language. That will be all the same features of the forum but in other languages. If you want your language there, help us to make it happen. We have also added The Lounge, that will be the a place to discuss subjects not related to GhostBSD.

We will continue to add more subjects for discussion there. You can help us to find new ones.
