Revision 81144866 of "ClosedBSD" on enwiki

'''ClosedBSD''' is a [[freeware]] derivative of [[FreeBSD]] aimed at providing [[firewall (networking)|firewall]] and [[NAT|Network Address Translation]] services, written by Joshua Bergeron.  ClosedBSD also aims for a small footprint in terms of size, available as a [[floppy disk]] image at 1.4[[MB]] and as a [[CD-ROM]] [[ISO]] at 12.8MB. In spite of its small size, the software includes a fully-functional [[ncurses]]-based interface. 

One of the advantages of ClosedBSD is that it can be run directly off a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, with no [[hard drive]] required. It can also be run on relatively old hardware; the diskette version requires a [[x86]]-based computer with 8MB of [[Random Access Memory|RAM]], while the CD-ROM version requires 32MB of RAM.

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

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