In case you forgot, ClosedBSD is powerful firewall distribution based on the FreeBSD kernel. Best of all: It is free software that can be distributed under the terms of the BSD license. Definately worth checking out."

    Read their site! ClosedBSD fits onto a single floppy! There's NOTHING non-essential in ClosedBSD. It's stripped down to virtually nothing but the kernel and a few functionalities that enable you to run a NAT/firewall/proxy.
