FreeSBIE 1.1 Screenshot Tour

Posted by timothy on from the cuteness-and-light dept.

linuxbeta writes "FreeSBIE is a FreeBSD LiveCD, or an operating system that is able to load directly from a bootable CD, without any installation process, without any hard disk. It's possible to use the BSDInstaller to install FreeSBIE on your hard drive, and then turn it into FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE by means of cvsup. At OSDir we installed FreeSBIE 1.1 and grabbed a series of great screenshots of this slick FreeBSD OS."

  1. Why screenshots from an OS? by jotaeleemeese · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That is rubish. Most likely they are screenshoots of the window manager.

    If one is talking about the advantages and disadvantages of an OS one should talk about what the OS does better and what the OS has still to achieve.

    I am sick and tired of the fanboys of eye candy "reviewing" an OS based on how "nice" the window manager looks (who cares if the window manager itself is a PITA to configure).
