FreeSBIE is a FreeBSD-based LiveCD that allows users to run the operating system straight from a CD, eliminating the need for installation.
If you're looking for a FreeBSD-based operating system that requires minimal setup, FreeSBIE might be the perfect option for you. Running directly off of a CD, this LiveCD doesn't touch your hard drive, making it a quick and easy way to test out FreeBSD without any commitment.
One of the latest releases, FreeSBIE 2.0.1 (code name Black Mamba), is based on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and contains over 450 pieces of software, totaling 1.3 GB in a single CD-ROM. This release is a bug-fix version, developed by the FreeSBIE staff after version 2.0 had some significant flaws, one of which prevented USB mice from working.
The aim of this release is to provide a more thoroughly tested and refined experience for FreeSBIE users, offering all the benefits of FreeBSD without the installation process. With a simple CD insert, you'll be ready to boot up and explore FreeSBIE to your heart's content.
