14 DAY TRIAL // GhostBSD 4.0 Alpha 3, 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 are moving fast and a new version in the new 4.0 branch has been released, although it's still an Alpha. It's likely that more development versions will land in the next few weeks.
According to the changelog, GhostBSD 4.0 Alpha 3 packs quite a few changes. For example, the network now works in VirtualBox after the installation and Wifimgr has been added for better Wi-Fi support until Networkmgr works flawlessly.
Also, the GIMP package has been removed because users can easily install it with with sudo pkg install gimp, all the software that depends on Nautilus, like Rhythmbox and gksu, has been removed, Exaile has replaced Rhythmbox, the GhostBSD user is now removed after installation, and a new experimental look has been implemented.
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 3 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.
