RE: freebsd in flashdrive

Minibsd is fine - I am currently running 4.11

I am using a slightly larger subset of the utilities than the 
minibsd page recommends, but I also am only using a 32Mb Cf card.
( 2mb for a configuration save partition and the rest for the system,
with about 20Mb actually used in total)

It is a very usable system for embedded monitoring purposes etc.
As a learning tool, you must remember that there is limited r/w
capabilities
in the minibsd default setup..

It would be possible to add almost everything from the command line
world 
into minibsd system but I think that any windowing environment would
need
too much r/w space to be truely useful.

my 2c worth.
