DragonflyBSD started as a code fork from FreeBSD 4.X, but it has since its own user community and development goals.
Frenzy is + another live-CD distribution, but customized + for administering tasks. It contains software for hardware + tests, file system checks, security checks, network setup + and analysis.
Gentoo/FreeBSD + is an effort by the Gentoo Project to port their complete + administration facilities to take advantage of the reliable + FreeBSD kernel and userland. This project is purely + incomplete and experimental.
NanoBSD is another + project to produce reduced versions + of FreeBSD to put it on a Compact Flash card or other mass + storage. It is also a part of the FreeBSD source tree, see + /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd.
PC-BSD is a desktop + oriented FreeBSD derivative. It is + intended to be easy to install and well-supported by its + community.
PicoBSD + is a tailored distribution of FreeBSD that fits + on a floppy. It is great for turning diskless 386 PC into a + router or a network print server. It is a part of the FreeBSD + source tree, see /usr/src/release/picobsd.
ThinBSD is a small + FreeBSD based boot image that allows a standard PC to act as + a diskless thin client for a Microsoft Windows RDP server or + an X terminal. It is entirely configured via DHCP.
TinyBSD is + a set of tools made up of shell scripts designed to allow easy + development of Embedded Systems based on FreeBSD.
