The release of the desktop-oriented distribution GhostBSD 24.01.1, built on the basis of FreeBSD 14-STABLE and offering the MATE user environment, has been published. Separately, the community creates unofficial builds with Xfce. By default, GhostBSD uses the ZFS file system. Both work in Live mode and installation on a hard drive are supported (using its own ginstall installer, written in Python). Boot images are created for x86_64 architecture (2.5 GB).
In the new version:
- Synchronization with the FreeBSD 14-STABLE branch has been completed (the previous version used the FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE branch).
- In the installer, the user being created now receives administrator rights, and the password specified for this user is also set for the root user.
- The Update Station application has been updated to support upgrading to the next major branch, meaning you can now upgrade GhostBSD from a version based on FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE to a version based on FreeBSD 14.0-STABLE.
