Today, August 31, 2016, the GhostBSD project has been pleased to announce the general availability of the final release of its GhostBSD 10.3 "Enoch" operating system based on the latest FreeBSD technologies.

GhostBSD 10.3 has been in development for the past 12 months, during which time the development team released two Alpha builds, a Beta milestone, and a Release Candidate, which pretty much contained all the features found in the final version.

These include ZFS support, UEFI support, better VirtalBox support, 4k partition alignment enabled by default, the ability to create custom partitions during installation, updated GhostBSD Software tool, SLIM login manager, and a redesigned installer slide.

Based on the FreeBSD 10.3 operating system, GhostBSD 10.3 comes with a new version of the Networkmgr utility, which supports displaying of full SSIDs, and it addresses many of the issues reported by users since last year's previous stable release.

"After a year of development, testing and debugging we are pleased to announce the release of GhostBSD 10.3 MATE & XFCE," reads today's announcement. "GhostBSD Software will be updated Quarterly which will bring more stability to GhostBSD still user will be able to change it to latest to have the latest software update."

GhostBSD 10.3 is distributed with the usual Xfce and MATE flavors, which you can grab right now via our website as installable-only ISO images supporting both 64-bit (amd64) and 32-bit (i386) hardware architectures. Download GhostBSD 10.3 MATE and GhostBSD 10.3 Xfce.
