14 DAY TRIAL // GhostBSD 4.0 Beta 1, a FreeBSD-based operating system that relies on Xfce LXDE, MATE, and OpenBox desktop environments, is now available for download and testing.
The developers of GhostBSD didn't waste any time and released yet another development version, although they are now out of the Alpha stage. Maybe we won't get as many Beta releases so that the final version is not delayed.
According to the changelog, cpio has been replaced with rsync for copying files during the installation, the kernel is now writable on the live DVD, which solves graphic card kernel loading for Intel and ATI, and the base of the distribution, FreeBSD10.0-RELEASE, has been updated to version 10.0-RELEASE-p3.
There still are a couple of problems left and the network with Live Image does not work in VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation. Also, GBI allow users to summit partition without root(/) partition, but a fix should arrive for this problem soon.
The distribution is available for both the 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Check out the official announcement for more details about this release. You can download GhostBSD 4.0 Beta 1 right now from Softpedia.
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
