As one of the FreeSBIE developers, I would like to say a word: I agree with the above description apart from the fact that our target is CD/DVD: FreeSBIE can be stripped down to a 64MB or less image and put on a flash card or USB pen. Another thing I'd like to add: after having release FreeSBIE 2.0 (around the middle of November), I'd like to add nanoBSD an miniBSD features to FreeSBIE and, if possible, import it in the base system and make it the "official" tool to build live/small FreeBSD systems.
