As far as I am aware, it is still FreeBSD underneath, so if it uses certain drivers, then surely GhostBSD would.

Sorry, I don't have it any more since it crashed on the HP-G62, but I'm sure it needs Intel.

I am not so sure that either would fit with the original intention of a light environment, but maybe as easily installable options.

Worked for me.

Personally, XFCE would be the better choice, not just because I prefer it, but also because the man behind it is, I believe, French, so if you had any problems, you could most likely communicate in your own language.

I use PC-BSD as one of my OS'es and quite agree about zfs; it is too complicated for a normal user system. I too do not like having services started 'straight out of the box', this creates vulnerabilities, if not very careful. One thing they have is a choice of WM or DE on installation, this I think...

I tried changing the driver in xorg.conf from vesa to intel. Rebooting leaves me at a text prompt, does not start the GUI login screen! :cry: When I login and run startx, it will not start. :cry: So, I change the driver back to vesa & reboot - I get the GUI login screen, but my keyboard layout has b...

Because RC1 crashed & corrupted my filesystem yesterday , I am installing the latest RC2 (64 bit .img) to my HP-G62 laptop.
Wrong resolution set - both live & installed - retrograde step, was working properly under RC1.

My HP G62 with RC1 crashed loading up Firefox yesterday, now it will not re start, something to do with a 'bad_filesystem'. I have used 'single user mode' fsck to check and repair the filesystem, but it does not restart, keeps crashing with a kernel problem when trying to load up. (This laptop uses ...

I think/agree that ghostBSD should stay as close to FreeBSD as possible whilst making it easy for a newcomer to try it 'live' and then install it.
