The official website is http://www.freesbie.org/
[zcat | BruceKingsbury] has a mirror of the ISO at http://zcat.wired.net.nz/files/
+
+Comes with most of the same stuff as knoppix (firefox, evolution, xchat, gnomemeeting, gimp, mplayer, xmms, xawtv, etc.
+a few games. No openoffice?)
+
+During startup it asks for keyboard layout, and boots to the root prompt rather than straight into X. 'startx' brings up a fairly nice gnome-based desktop. As yet I've only tried it on one machine, but it did correctly find video and soundcard, network, USB, etc.
+Also it has a nice SMB browser and I've been told FreeBSD's inbuilt NTFS support is ahead of Linux's.
+
+The desktop menus are all in Italian, but the software itself is still all English.
