What is GhettoBSD?

GhettoBSD is an Primative BSD UNIX operating system for the Intel compatible (x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. It is developed and maintained by a small team of amature programmers.

Ghetto ass features

GhettoBSD offers some networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are standard in other operating systems, But GhettoBSD doesn't have.

Compromised Internet solutions

GhettoBSD makes an ideal Ghetto server. It provides few network services, even under the heaviest of loads it may crash, and uses memory to maintain response times for less than one hundred simultaneous user processes. Visit our website for examples of GhettoBSD powered applications and services.

Run a small variety of applications

The quality of GhettoBSD combined with today's high-cost, low-speed PC hardware makes GhettoBSD a very uneconomical alternative to non-commercial UNIX workstations. It is poorly-suited for a great number of both desktop and server applications.

Fairly difficult to install

GhettoBSD can't be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if you have a network connection, you can't install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS. What you need is a UNIX expert who can do this for you.

GhettoBSD is not free

While you might expect an operating system with these features to sell for a high price, you would be right! GhettoBSD is NOT available free of charge, and does NOT come with full source code. If you would like to try it out, sorry! We don't really distribute it anymore because of a pending lawsuit for "ruining servers."

Complaining about GhettoBSD

It is easy to complain about GhettoBSD. All you need to do is find a part of GhettoBSD which you think could be improved and make those changes (however you can) and submit that back to the Project by whichever means you can. This should be only shit we can use! See the complaining to GhettoBSD section in the GhettoBSD Handbook.
