Cool!
So a FreeBSD desktop system can be made bullet proof?
I'm thinking the OS and Firefox and is all a basic user would need.
Web apps, like Gmail and Google Docs and Spreadsheets, would provide
storage and productivity.
Would the system be safer if it was all on a CD and there was no hard

Would you be able to make a CD based system fast enough for a basic user?
