That's a ridiculous summary, worthy of Slashdot. All current BSD systems are based on 4.4BSD-Lite, which was released in 1994 after the USL lawsuit ended.

Nifty. Sounds like a full featured LiveCD along the same lines as Knoppix.

From TFA:

"This CD contains the following software packages in addition to the base operating system files:

* XFree86
* KDE 3.4.5 (base package, graphics, PIM, games, admin tools, etc.) with multiple language sets (german, english, french, italian, czech, hungarian, polish, dutch, spanish, portuguese)
* The joe and kvim text editors.
* From the Gnome Office Pack:
o The Abiword word processor
o The Dia 0.9.4 flowcharting and diagramming application
o The Inkscape 0.4.2 vector graphic application
* The GNU Image Processor (Gimp) 2.2
* The Firefox Webbrowser.
* bash 3 (Shell).
* The XMMS mediaplayer.
* Additional utilities as for example Midnight Commander, ext2-Tools, ntfstools, mtools, HFS-Tools and sudo.
* LBreakout 2, LTris und XSkat

The graphical environment used is KDE with the kdm display manager."

Except that Knoppix is based on Minix :)
