LiveUSB-OpenBSD Minimal

This is the variant for minimalists.

It still is insanely powerful!

OpenBSD base install comes with a fully functional suite of applications.

  • DNS server

  • HTTP server

  • Web browser

  • Command line download with ftp(1)

I created this since as a fellow geek I prefer this from time to time.

If you are like me you will love it. But if you must have graphics I got you covered too.

Though there is no X, it still is powerful!
