  1. Knoppix-like distro for *BSD? by TheReckoning · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Are there any bootable-CD distributions of *BSD, like the Knoppix distro for Linux? It would be really cool to bring a couple of CDs with you in case you ran into some open-minded person willing to look at a free OS, and not have to worry about partitioning or overwriting anything.

  2. netbsd ... by SuperDuG · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Whoa ... back to the wonders of the open source world where one thing is obviously better than the other, they can't both be ... *gasp* equally great *gasp* ...

    Needless to say if anyone ever asks you a question of what runs NetBSD ... you can safely say more things than any other operating system. NetBSD runs on everything from a supercomputer to a dreamcast and everything in between. The most impressive things I've seen from NetBSD is the ability to get the OS running on anything that can process information and NFS ... second to none.

    There are ninches for everything ... portability ... netbsd wins hands down.
