https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/FAQ is outdated, and no longer the
preferred page. Remove this line.

Use the new URL for documentation. 'Frequently Asked Questions' is
prominent in the sidebar.

Use the true URL for the list of FreeBSD security advisories.

https://www.GhostBSD.org/releases/ is not the place for release notes
and errata; the page does not exist. Instead, use the development
management page in GitHub.

Add the GhostBSD home page.

https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/FAQ is outdated, and no longer the preferred page.

Getting Help

This comment was marked as outdated.

Use the URL for advisories.

Not the URL of the verbose page that does not list the advisories.
https://www.GhostBSD.org/releases/ leads to
https://www.ghostbsd.org/releases/ (lowercase), which does not exist.

Use a reasonably short URL for the area where release notes are most likely to be found.
Remove the line with the long URL for FAQ.

With https://www.ghostbsd.org/ as a starting point, answers are two clicks away:

1. documentation
2. frequently asked questions.
Add the home page.
The default GhostBSD message of the day will differ significantly from
the FreeBSD MOTD.

The FreeBSD URL for security advisories need not be in the midst of
GhostBSD URLs.

Have the GhostBSD URLs first. Not a mixture.
Uppercase D, because in some places Americanisation is preferred.

@ericbsd this arose from a question, "What Version of GhostBSD Am I Running?", where https://forums.ghostbsd.org/d/336/7 pictures an overlooked/forgotten answer in the outdated message of the day.

I suspect that relatively few people pay attention to the MOTD, so I'll not overcomplicate this PR.

https://forums.ghostbsd.org/t/feedback should be good for any related discussion.

to main?

Sure, will do.

(I should have used my common sense … wasn't sure which branch to choose, with stable/14 as the current default.)

Thanks

PS, if you want me to squash in future, just say.
