GhostBSD

Bild/Foto

GhostBSD is a simple, elegant, and friendly #BSD operating system for desktops and laptops based on #FreeBSD. #GhostBSD is a slow-rolling release, while some GNU/Linux distros are on the bleeding edge side; we tried to offer a stable update and release cycle. The official desktop environment is #MATE. The system comes with a graphical application to install software and update your system. Most codecs to play multimedia files are pre-installed. The installer leverages #OpenZFS, makes it easy to install GhostBSD on ZFS with other OS on the same drive, and is suitable for newcomers to FreeBSD. With modest hardware requirements, GhostBSD is ideal for modern workstations and 64-bit single-board computer hardware.

THE POWER OF THE GNU PENGUIN: https://youtu.be/0MI2k_Ml5_0

HUMANS SHOULD NEVER EVER WAIT FOR MACHINES! 🙂

MACHINES LIVE FOREVER – HUMANS DO NOT (YET)

GNU LINUX Debian 8 “Jessie” with MATE Gnome2 Desktop GUI) on DELL E4310 with Samsung SSD 830 – powerup until ready.

This Laptop consumes around 50 Watts.

On those energy saving embedded PCs (30Watts) http://www.giadapc.com/products/minipc/F300.html it boots up even faster – because the BIOS does not take as long as with the DELL Laptop.

software: simplicity at it’s best

https://mate-desktop.org/

only the gnome2 network manager is a bit… strange (why no field for primary and secondary dns!!!?????)

replace with:

<span style="color: #00ffff;">su - root
apt remove network-manager-gnome
apt remove network-manager</span>
<span style="color: #00ffff;">apt install wicd</span>
