As I was looking for the DesktopBSD, I found out that there is another BSD distro, the PC BSD, that appeared after Desktop BSD. Although it is a customized FreeBSD like DesktopBSD, it is a little different from the known ports system of FreeBSD. As the Wiki of Desktop BSD says "PC-BSD utilises a new system of installing packages using a *.pbi package". Very interesting and helpful is the fact that you can find an ISO for the VMWare player.

And in VMWare Appliances I found the FreeNAS, a FreeBSD based distro made for NAS.

I almost break my head trying to remember one Live CD based on FreeBSD that I had seen one year ago.Fortunately I found it so I won't visit the hospital.

It it the Frenzy Live CD which is very interesting because the last release was two weeks ago (23.05.2006. Frenzy 1.0-RC2).

Another *BSD that I forgot to mention was the DragonFly BSD which is also based on FreeBSD.

If you think that all the new BSD distros are based only on FreeBSD then you are wrong!
You can find the OpenBSD Live-CD Firewall with a very interesting manual concerning How to build an OpenBSD Live CD.

I also saw the TrustedBSD project which says that "provides a set of trusted operating system extensions to the FreeBSD operating system" so I don't mention it as a new distro. Something similar is PicoBSD which looks like Damn Small Linux.

  I'll go hunting for more BSD distros...
