This document at BSDToday covers the basic steps in building a bootable CD containing a live FreeBSD filesystem with a couple of security features enabled and configured. With this CD, it is possible to transform a PC from a mediocre workstation into a VPN Gateway or firewall or both without touching the hard drive.

Not much of a deal there. BeOS can run from a CD as well as QNX from the demo disk. If it is a standalone then the firewall can be on a downstream cpu. Always nice to have choices though.

Dude, BeOS and QNX don’t hold a candle to FreeBSD when it comes to this sort of functionality. You’re talking about demo CDs, this is for work.
Guess I don’t see it to be that great still. Why is it so great?
