Life in the Slow Lane

Very cool Linux project

December 1st, 2003 · No Comments

This project is the way of the future for operating systems. The main system executes off of a read-only filesystem (in this case, a CD-ROM). This makes it impervious to worms and virii that try to persist themselves - reboot and your infection is gone. User-specific configuration and personalization data is stored on a smaller read/write device which can be plugged into any machine. The entire system is portable between machines - all you need is the CD and your USB key and you can boot on any machine with your complete environment right there. Perfect if you drift between several machines during a day…
