The pocket sized BSD!
Damn Small BSD (DSBSD) is a small (50mb or less) FreeBSD live-CD desktop environment geared toward developers and system administrators, but we also include applications that the average user may find handy.
DSBSD comes with everything you need in a basic desktop environment. We include the fluxbox window manager, firefox, xmms, and many other applications. We also include tools to help you get work done, such as an ssh server, a mini httpd, xvncviewer, and more.
The Goal
Our goal is to be able to run on older hardware with little memory, as well as modern machines, while providing a responsive desktop. We support both SMP and uniprocessor machines. More architectures may come in the future.
Current Status
As of right now, we are still in the very early initial stage of development, so we do not have an official release yet. If you are brave, you can see the developers page for information on how to obtain a copy of DSBSD.
