Hi,
~
I am a LiveCD enthusiast who has been using kanotix, knoppix (since
its 3.8 version ;-)) and FreesBIE and I have been minding for some
time about using liveCD's as full blown servers
~
There is little and spotty information on this. yeah! you could
certainly run apache right off your knoppix distro, but is this the
way you would actually run your server?
~
Very little is mentioned, if at all, about OS hardening and
protection such as what you could achieve with open source grsecurity,
SELinux, PAX, ...
~
You find basically nothing here:
~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_LiveDistros
~
and in his latest (very superficial book)
~
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0132432749/
~
"Live Linux(R) CDs: Building and Customizing Bootables", Christopher
Negus doesn't say anything about it
~
Having something like a base-line sever liveCD that would let you
easily customize/remaster the rest to your liking would be superb!
~
Probably there is something I am missing here, but I think running
your OS and the application stack from a live CD would be great, among
others, for security, manageability and versioning
~
Any ideas, good links your know of?
~
Thanks
