Hi, ~ I am a LiveCD enthusiast who has been using kanotix, knoppix (since its 3.8 version 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/Compari...ux_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 lbrtchx lbrtchx@gmail.com |
