+# Introduction
+
+Welcome to Project Trident!
+
+Project Trident is a desktop distribution of [TrueOS](https://www.trueos.org), which is a rolling-release variant of [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org).
+The goal of the Project is to provide a simple, secure, and highly usable FreeBSD experience.
+Project Trident is completely independent and [financially backed through the generous contributions of the Open Source community](/sponsors).
+
+[Project Trident](https://project-trident.org) began in 2018 when TrueOS was reorganized into a scaled down server installation of FreeBSD.
+The discontinued desktop portion of TrueOS was taken by Ken Moore and J.T. Pennington and rebuilt into Project Trident.
+
+Project Trident is essentially a customized installation of TrueOS and FreeBSD, not a forked derivative.
+Project Trident has a simple graphical installer that has partition support and other customization options.
+The underlying TrueOS/FreeBSD system is kept intact and provides a fully functional FreeBSD system.
+Other differences from FreeBSD include:
+
+-   Project Trident pre-configures the BSD-licensed Lumina desktop environment.
+    Additional desktop environments can be installed and appear in the graphical login menu.
+
+-   The Project Trident installer supports configuring ZFS partitions during installation.
+
+-   Project Trident has both graphical and command line software management systems.
+
+-   Project Trident provides many graphical utilities for system configuration and management.
+
+-   Project Trident comes pre-configured with a number of automatic scripts for dynamically configuring the graphics display system and other desktop-oriented automatic systems such as dynamically suppoerting removable media.
+
+-   The Project Trident boot menu supports boot environments or snapshots of the operating system.
+    The System Update Manager automatically creates a new boot environment before every update.
+    If an update fails, the system can be rebooted into an earlier boot environment.
+    This allows for easy recovery if any issues happen during the update process.
+
+These articles cover the installation and use of Project Trident.
+All documentation must be considered a "work in progress" and is wholly dependent on Project Trident community contributions.
+
