'''ClosedBSD''' was a derivative of [[FreeBSD]] aimed at providing [[firewall (networking)|firewall]] and [[Network Address Translation]] services, written by Joshua Bergeron.  ClosedBSD aimed to be small in size, available as a [[floppy disk]] image at 1.4[[Megabyte|MB]] and as a [[CD-ROM]] [[ISO image]] at 12.8MB. Despite its small size, the software included a fully functional [[ncurses]]-based interface.

One of the advantages of ClosedBSD was the ability to run directly off a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, with no [[hard drive]] needed. It could also run on relatively old hardware; the diskette version needing a [[x86]]-based computer with 8MB of [[Random Access Memory|RAM]], while the CD-ROM version needs 32MB of RAM.

The latest released versions were 1.0B for the floppy and 1.0-RC1 for the CD.

ClosedBSD was [[freeware]], in that it is released at no cost.  Only the binaries (the executable programs) were released, not the [[source code]]. The binaries were distributed under the terms of the [[BSD License]], which is a [[free software license]], but ClosedBSD was not [[open source software]] because the source code was not available.
