Are there any useful *bsd Live CD's?

FreeSBIE seems buggy.

Jibbed (http://www.jibbed.org/) is interesting and may be less buggy, as being based on NetBSD it doesn't use bug-filled HAL rubbish.

Edit: d'oh, beaten to the punch.

Thanks,

I burned myself a copy of BSDAnywhere.
Surfing is slow, almost like going through Tor. Not sure if that is a result of running off of the CD. I was using the amd64 version.

jggimi seems interesting.

Jibbed I haven't come across.

PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD. Trouble with recognizing the video and LCD. I had to use VESA boot option.
Desktop is nice, didn't play with it for too long.

TrueBSD live DVD (http://truebsd.org/) (Based on FreeBSD). DesktopBSD (http://desktopbsd.net) as already pointed out, is also great for begginers.
