About GhostBSD
GhostBSD is a desktop-oriented operating system built on FreeBSD. It ships with the MATE desktop environment, a GTK interface and a selection of essential software preinstalled, so a BSD system is usable right after installation.
It suits people who want to try BSD on a desktop or laptop without assembling a desktop on plain FreeBSD by hand. A documentation portal with a FAQ covers installation and use.
