FreeSBIE was the first live cd for FreeBSD and it's more like Knoppix. Frenzy is more an admin cd like grml for Linux. So it's something rather different.

I think I should lay off the booze or stop watching the Matrix. Maybe both... *goes off to bend some spoons* Sat, 27 Jan 2007 12:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (JamesTRexx) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?206388 http://osnews.com/thread?206388 http://www.riondabsd.net/2007/01/18/houston-we-have-a-bug/

FreeSBIE is good for D&C (demonstrating and convincing) people will small knowledge and / or experience. "Hey, look how colorful it is! And it can play MP3s!" :-) No, I don't want to talk bad about FreeSBIE, I used it at work for months because the "Windows" box was messed up and dysfunctioning in nearly every aspect. It can be used to restore operation availability, to do multimedia stuff, e-mail, web browsing and of course diagnostics (dmesg, pciconf, nmap, ethereal etc.).

BTW, if I remember correctly, there have been live system CDs before FreeSBIE, i. e. the 2nd CD of the 5.0 CD set. It contains a (rudimentary) live system for rescue purposes. No X, no eye candy. But at least a live system.

"Frenzy is more an admin cd like grml for Linux. So it's something rather different."

I will have a look at it, download is running at this moment...

I didn't have to do anything besides boot it and type "startx". I think it's pretty cool to have X and a handful of simple tools on one CD.
