Re: Linux 'live' cds

Also consider the possibility of netbooting small linuxes. That way you
don't even need to burn CD's at all. Using this technique you can remotely
tell any PC what it has to do. Very nice for audio/video PC standalones, and
other uses will come to your mind, when you know the power of netbooting.
Live CD distros are interesting because they are smal and can be booted from
the net, and run completely in RAM. Fast as hell, secure as ..??
