There are several, but the one that comes to mind may be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/ and http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd.html You can put picobsd on a floppy, put the floppy into the drive in your Windows Wkstn. and after a reboot it will look like a BSD machine, and you can fill your 19" monitor with ls, cats cps etc....and demonstrate all basic operations of FreeBSD If you are hardware oriented, you can easily put a router/gateway on a 50 by 100 mm embedded type card with an IDE interface adapter for a FlashMedia card using one of these distributions...
