I have decided to take down the old forum, as it was causing significant issues on the server. For the past few months, I had been trying to understand why the server's CPU and memory usage were consistently high.

We are excited to roll out GhostBSD 25.01-R14.2p1, our first release under a new versioning scheme and a commitment to rock-solid stability. After discussing with our contributors, we’ve moved from FreeBSD STABLE to FreeBSD RELEASE, building this version on 14.2-RELEASE-p1, the first patched update of FreeBSD 14.2.
