For example, PicoBSD is a tailored distribution of FreeBSD that - fits on a floppy. It's great for turning a diskless 386 PC into a - router or a network print server. Another popular FreeBSD derivate - is FreeSBIE, a complete desktop running off the CD-ROM.

  • + TrustedBSD: This project provides a set of trusted + operating system extensions to the FreeBSD operating + system, targeting the Common Criteria for Information + Technology Security Evaluation (CC). This project is + still under development, and much of the code is destined + to make its way back into the base FreeBSD operating + system, but the development takes place separately.

  • + Frenzy: Another live-CD distribution, but customized + for administering tasks. It contains software for + hardware test, file system check, security check + and network setup and analysis.
