BSD DistributionsTop |

| http://FreeSBIE.org | |
Based on FreeBSD, this is the best LiveCD distro of the Berkeley System V UNIX clone. Unlike Linux based LiveCDs (Knoppix, et al.), this LiveCD can access the FreeBSD Partitions when you need to fix anything. |
| http://FreeBSD.org | |
FreeBSD is the "optimized" distro of the Berkeley System V UNIX clone. This is suposed to be the fastest cookin' OS around. This distro has the most free software (known as Ports). |
| http://NetBSD.org | |
"Of course it runs NetBSD" is their way of telling everyone that this is the most ported OS. Do you have a computer from the 80's? Yep, it will run NetBSD. Do you have the most up-to-date computer? Yep, it will run NetBSD. More then 36 architectures run NetBSD. |
| http://OpenBSD.org | |
This is the "Open" [this is a pun] version of the BSD UNIX clone. It is the most secure (to the point of paranoia) BSD distro. Use this distro if you have an direct connection to the internet; it is the best OS for a firewall. |
| PicoBSD | |
PicoBSD is a whole FreeBSD operating system that fits on one floppy disk. |
| http://BSDCentral.com | |
BSDCentral is the place to get your version of the Berkeley System V UNIX clone. |

Do you want a good looking and intuitive desktop? You have the choice of GNOME or KDE. I used both and like them, but I prefer running just X windows with the Black Box window manager. |
