I may be a little over-zealous here, possibly bordering on crazy, but after playing with Knoppix, using it for some disaster recovery, I got the idea of creating backend servers with it. Currently we are using RH7.3 for samba with replicated LDAP for authentication. I was thinking about condensing all that down to a CD, and have all the writable (ldap) areas be on the USB stick (samba shares would be there own HDD )
This would mean server swaps would be CD/USB swap and power-up.
Is this feasible? I do not need any X environment, CLI if fine, considering I domost things via SSH..
If there is a project ongoing like this, please let me know.
The downfall would be upgrades, wouldmean a rollout of a new CD image, etc...but is there anything else that I may be missing?
I have been browsing the remastering section as well as DSL .. just trying to get a feel for it.
Thanks
