A handy list - List of live CDs
Looking to make a kiosk for an application and I wanted it to be bomb-proof.
Some operating systems have the ability to run from a CD-ROM, not just install but actually boot and run the operating system and applications.
This functionality is known as 'live' and
Wikipedia has a nice list of Live CD-ROMs complete with links to the actual distributions.
This will allow the user to have full control over the kiosk and when they are done, if anything is fouled up, I just hit the reset and reload the OS. Want to save something? Use a thumb drive.
Ahhhh - decisions decisions. I am looking at either Puppy Linux or Kubuntu.
