  1. Hi guys,
  2.  
  3. Thanks much for your informative show!

  5. I am a Linux user new to BSD so you may take my comments with a grain of salt. That said, i somehow rendered a hard drive unusable trying to install FreeBSD and only revived it by setting as slave in another machine and formatting with my Linux. I was later told it was probably because ZFS file system is the default and it doesn't play well with my older BIOS machine and legacy msdos partitioning. I have tried PC-BSD before but when i try to install now it too insists on ZFS and won't allow my partioning. I found Dragonfly a pain to install as i kept getting not enough room in cache when trying to install xfce. Only when i changed their default size of /var was i able to boot into xfce, but without Firefox which had failed by some checksum mismatch.

  7. I am now trying GhostBSD with none of the above mentioned problems. I can use most of my favorite Linux programs. It is very smooth, responsive, and stable so far. Very pleased with this distro.

  9. In short, why is GhostBSD not mentioned on your home page along with the other distros? For me it is by far the best one i have used.

  11. thanks and peace
