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
