What makes RoFreeSBIE unique?

■ RoFreeSBIE has a wide-range of powerful scripts; from Internet and antivirus configurations to partitions detection. ■ Testing your hardware compatibility with FreeBSD 6.2 before installing couldn't be easier with a Live CD/DVD like RoFreeSBIE. ■ High level of security thanks to UNIX solid as a rock, Clamav antivirus, F-Prot antivirus and a firewall. Feel safe with RoFreeSBIE. ■ Because RoFreeSBIE is FreeBSD based, it uses intelligent ways of updating: cvsup and recompiling the base system or binary patches. If you use cvsup, you can track daily changes on the FreeBSD base system and easily obtain a new FreeBSD release when it appears. ■ Linux penguin draw RoFreeSBIE runs Linux applications with high performance and speed. Why should you have to choose between BSD and Linux, when you can get the best of both? ■ With clone.sh you'll be able to make a compressed image of a chosen partition from your HDD and store it on another writable partition. ■ It mounts, on the fly, NTFS partitions in read/write mode.

RoFreeSBIE comes with KDE window manager that supports English, Romanian, Italian, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and German languages.
