MicroBSD : stripped down hardened secure BSD version builds. The concept for MicroBSD is a hardend secure POSIX1e small foot print OS for x86 (NOW), Alpha/Sun/PPC (or other) hardware to use as little hard disk space as possible yet provide fully functional Systems. Based on a complete server model, builds for Firewall/IDS/VPN (NOW), SMTP/WWW/DNS/FTP and other combinations will be developed over time. Systems features address all aspects of security. These builds are designed to take the work out of building secured network environments with specific features unique to each one. Basically a Secured manageable system build designed to do specific tasks.

Initiatives to build a Secure, Hardened POSIX1e draft OS. While building on the roots of FreeBSD and OpenBSD, for their known stability, security & robustness. We have actually forked into a specialized hardened distribution. It seems we are on our way to merge the best of both worlds back into one. While most "hardened" and "secured" distros these days seem to be Linux based."
