Ghosted vs Unghosted and where the file lives

Ghosted == Uncustomized == lives on the file system

These are generally deployed using features or site definitions


Unghosted == customized == lives in the content databse.

These files are either files that have been modified using SharePoint designer or uploaded through the user interface.

Generally Ghosted/unghosted were the terms used with SP 2003, while customized/uncustomized were introduced with 2007, supposedly to make the terms easier to understand.
