Description

GhostBSD is a user-friendly, desktop-focused operating system that is derived from FreeBSD, featuring MATE, OpenRC, and a collection of OS packages to streamline the user experience. It comes preloaded with a variety of essential software, enabling users to maximize its capabilities right from the start. Utilizing the GTK environment, GhostBSD offers an aesthetically pleasing interface and a comfortable experience that aligns with modern BSD platforms, fostering an authentic Unix work environment. Built upon FreeBSD's foundational code, its lineage traces back to the Unix Research at the University of California, Berkeley, where it was historically known as "BSD Unix" or "Berkeley Unix." In contemporary terms, it is commonly referred to as BSD, which stands for Berkeley Software Distribution. The main objective of the project is to merge security, privacy, stability, usability, openness, and freedom, ensuring that it remains accessible to all at no cost. Additionally, the user experience is further enriched by tools such as Networkmgr, which are specifically developed as part of the GhostBSD initiative, contributing to its seamless functionality and user satisfaction. This commitment to continuous improvement and user-centric design sets GhostBSD apart in the realm of operating systems.

Description

Illumos is a Unix-based operating system that introduces cutting-edge features for downstream distributions, such as enhanced system debugging, a next-generation filesystem, advanced networking, and virtualization capabilities. It is developed collaboratively by volunteers along with companies that create products utilizing the software. Serving as a robust foundation for both traditional and cloud-native environments, illumos offers new users an excellent starting point with distributions like OmniOS and OpenIndiana. Users can opt to install it on virtual machines or directly on bare metal. To build illumos, an illumos-based operating system is required since cross-compilation is not an option. The software is freely accessible through its source repository. Hosting a variety of technologies, illumos boasts features like ZFS, DTrace, Zones, ctf, and FMA, among others. We take pride in delivering a stable, highly observable system that distinguishes itself technologically. With a rich engineering legacy, illumos can trace its origins back through Sun Microsystems to the early developments of UNIX and BSD, showcasing its historical significance in the evolution of operating systems. Its commitment to innovation continues to attract developers and users alike.
