It's native zfs support makes it an outstandingly reliable workstation. For any user, who is interested in reliability of zfs mirrored data this OS is choice #1. Any PC in such a role as a workstation or even homeserver does NOT need Wi-Fi driver support at first place. When security plays a role, a smaller software repo with well maintained apps is also not harmful at all. The updater itself could be a bit more transparent during its activities: it only displays 1 line per downloaded software package. A human wants instead see a full display with as many downloaded packages, as possible at the very same time. Including the possibility to manually save this log in a reserved location on disk. On the documentation side, GhostBSD seems to have not yet found a stable workflow, where to put the latest information about fixing minor issues. These hints are spread over several locations - each having its specific (dis-)advantage(s). Was this review helpful?

What I was particularly impressed about that the filemanaher was able to instaly see and open a partion that is ext3 formated, something which when I tried FreeBSD there was some difficulty doing. I also like, unlike FreeBSD, where everything is pretty much set-up out of the box, just have to make those small adjustments to make it more like what you want. Did have difficulty (just like with FreeBSD) with slackwares lilo registering GhostBSD on the menu, so I installed slackware grub, and all is good. Otherwise, I find it to be quick and smooth running. Was this review helpful?

I mean it's a joke considering in 2024, still lacking hardware support like ancient 'nix., can't even connect to wifi, seriously??? I would have been acceptable as *nix if it were around early 2000's though, come on, it's already 2024; most people won't bother stuff that can't even do basic thing as supporting common hardware right (unless there is other appealing advantage over others). It's not their fault, I know they don't have enough developers though I believe that BSD is going to be dead soon. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 43 reader reviews of GhostBSD...
