Even though I confirmed for 2 or 3 times if I was punching in the correct password (which I did), the inability to connect to Wifi has been utterly disgrunting. Of course, one can always configure everything manually directly on the conf files, but that goes against the whole idea of a desktop. Issue with detecting the built-in Wifi card is always an issue on any BSD, but nothing like a USB-dongle wouldn't fix. Other than that, desktop works like a charm. Package management is snappy as always. Special function keys work normally on my Dell XPS and I've been using it as my daily driver. Great job so far! Was this review helpful?

Hope ghostBSD, BSDunix gets more updates later. WiFi was only issue On my i7 zen book number fifteen edition. Tried live test afterwards and wifi worked, must have something to do with virtual machine i'm sure as drivers run great off-of-virtualbox. Wanted to try something new from Canada after slackwares vector linux went away not too long ago. How sad for vector linux, very happy to see canada is producing and making BSDunix and Linux operating systems. Many other countries opting out of linux scene too perticularly in oriental east world, such as philippines, japan, korea, thailand, taiwan, use to be many diffrent linux arouns world coming out everywhere, many have slowed production or are not making no more. :( *frown* face. *Saluting* good luck Canada!

With 8 GB of RAM and 8 CPUs allocated, along with 20 GB of storage, the system performed faster than my host machine. It exhibited remarkable responsiveness for every task I attempted. In my opinion, GhostBSD stands out as the finest Unix-based system built upon FreeBSD. Compared to the tedious installation and configuration process of plain FreeBSD, GhostBSD eliminates a significant amount of hassle. Kudos to the exceptional work by the GhostBSD team.
