Subject: NetBSD live CD

Hello,
I am one of the developers of Arudius - a live CD Linux distro targeting
information security professionals. The
CD has a large collection of security tools and a very small footprint (210MB)
so it fits on a mini-CD, thus it
can load its tools completely into RAM and run them very fast. In addition to
this security-related Linux
distribution, we also developed a NetBSD live CD focusing on the non-security
community. It is called NeWBIE (or
simply Newbie). This acronym is pronounced just like the word "newbie" and
stands for
(Ne)tBSD (W)are (B)urned (I)n (E)conomy, a naming convention similar to the one
used for the well-known FreeSBIE
CD. Newbie caters to the desktop-user (i.e. with applications for web browsing,
chat, multimedia, document editing,
etc) but will also serve as a core for creating a NetBSD-based live CD for
network security auditing just like
Arudius (see the website). We are also in the process of developing a
DragonflyBSD version of NeWBIE.
The goal of both CDs is to promote the usage of Linux/BSD and hopefully serve
as useful tools for people who
need that kind of software.
We would appreciate it if you try out the CDs and give us some feedback on how
we can improve them (i.e
configuration, install additional software, etc). If you find any of the CDs to
be useful, please mention them on
your site or post a link to the homepage - http://arudius.sourceforge.net
Thank you very much for your attention and if you have any questions feel free
to send an email to haidut@xxxxxxxxx
best regards,
Haidut
