NetBSD hat nun auch eine Live-CD nach dem Vorbild von FreeSBIE, der FreeBSD-Lice-CD, man lese auf http://arudius.sourceforge.net/ wie folgt:
newbie
This acronym NeWBIE is pronounced just like the word "newbie" and stands for (Ne)tBSD (W)are (B)urned (I)n (E)conomy. Newbie is a NetBSD (v. 3.0) live CD similar in spirit to the well-known FreeSBIE live CD. Newbie currently caters to the desktop-user (i.e. with applications for web browsing, chat, multimedia, document editing, etc) but will also serve as a core for creating a NetBSD version of Arudius (see below) - a network security auditing tool. Why based on NetBSD? Because contrary to the popular opinion, NetBSD is not some obscure *BSD flavor that is only good for powering your toaster, but is a powerful, flexible and highly portable operating system. In many aspects it is better than its more famous cousins. Did you know that NetBSD recently broke the speed record for network data transfer? And what about speed and scalability? Note the first item of the "News" section from the link of the previous sentence:-)
arudius
Arudius is a Linux live CD with tools that try to address the network security aspect (penetration testing and vulnerability analysis) of information assurance. It is based on Slackware (Zenwalk) for i386 systems and targets the information security audience. It is released under the GNU GPL and contains only open-source software. Arudius uses Fluxbox as its window manager but most of the tools included in the distribution are command-line. Note: Arudius is NOT a remastered Slax! The distribution was developed from scratch using vanilla Zenwalk Core (Minislack) install and Linux Live scripts (SLAX). The nice feature it inherits from Slax is that all Slax modules (.mo files) should work fine with Arudius and you should even be able to remaster Arudius using the nice Windows program "MySlax Creator".
The base Zenwalk installation has been trimmed down to remove items like man pages and unnecessary binaries/libraries. On top of that base distro a large collection of network security testing software (full list) has been installed - including tools listed on Insecure.org Top 75 list plus many other tools listed on Freshmeat, Sf.net and other sites around the world. The CD will also include in the near future tools developed by the creator of the distro, mainly network sniffers for IM and P2P applications and possibly an open source web content filtering system.
There are several differences between Arudius and other security distros. One of them is the collection of tools installed. Arudius aims at being a "security tool" and not just a collection of all security software out there. Thus we have tried to condense as many useful tools as possible while keeping the ISO file size under 210MB - small enough to fit on a mini-CD, thus small enough to load and run completely in RAM.
Another potential difference is that Arudius is developed by people employed in the computer security industry and has been made a part of their daily tasks, which ensures timely updates and releases.
compatibility
Arudius and NeWBIE should run on most i386 systems capable of booting from a CD-ROM. Please make sure that the BIOS settings of the machine specify the proper boot order (i.e. attempt to boot from CD-ROM before HDD). On some systems (most likely older systems or laptops) the Arudius boot process might freeze due to unsupported hardware so you can probably fix the issue by passing some extra boot options like 'nousb', 'nohotplug' or 'noagp'. Just pay attention in which section the boot process stops and boot Arudius again with an option that skips the problematic section. Too see all the Arudius boot options press F1 at the boot screen, when the Arudius logo is shown.
Ich wünsche dem Projekt viel Erfolg!
Ich habe es naturgemäß nicht getestet und bitte um Erfahrungsberichte der NetBSD-Menschen hier. 
Ich weiß nicht, ob die Erfahrungen positiv sein werden (unterstelle dies aber mal, da man sich wohl stark am erfolgreichem Vorbild orientierte), aber ich könnte mir gut vorstellen, daß so etwas auf events sehr gut zu gebrauchen ist...

Wer sich wohl wen als Vorbild genommen hat...
