Default Innovative Usage of Linux Live CD
Hi all,

I am collecting various Usage of Live CD for my study.

Till now my research has listed following ways

  • Banks Providing Live CD with Browser Homepaged to Bank Website.
  • Internet Cafe's operating on Live CD,
  • To Setup Diskless dumb terminals / Thin clients booting on Live Disk for cheap workstation alternative. LTSP will be a good alternative
  • Ethical Hacking, penetration testing.
  • Un Ethical Hacking or Cracking.
  • Disaster Recovery.
  • Forensic evidence collection.
  • Testing any Distro before switching to it.
  • OS on the RUN (when using Live USB mode)
  • Portable Electronic Workbench. <- Preinstalled toolkit for electronics development.
  • Portable Testing Workbench. <- complete with software testing tools installed

Please suggest any other usage of Live CD that you have in your mind.

I always bring a custom built live cd to the data center when I have to work on servers.

One of the servers is a "spare machine" and has a cd rom drive. This lets me boot into a familiar working environment when at the data center.

* Portable WebServer with demo (for web development organizations.) (Browser opening and showing the webpages)
