Release of GhostBSD 19.04

GhostBSD 19.04, a desktop distribution based on TrueOS and offering a MATE user environment, has been released. By default, GhostBSD uses the OpenRC init system and the ZFS file system. Both Live mode and installation to a hard drive are supported (using its own ginstall installer written in Python). Boot images are generated for the amd64 architecture (2.7 GB).

In the new version:

  • Codebase updated to FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT experimental branch;
  • Added support for the ZFS file system on MBR partitions to the installer;
  • Removed ZFS-related default settings in TrueOS to improve installation support on UFS;
  • Instead of slim, the Lightdm session manager is used;
  • Removed gksu from distribution;
  • Added "boot_mute" mode for booting without displaying the log on the screen;
  • A block of settings for the rEFInd boot manager has been added to the installer.
