I prefer Knoppix for that kind of thing.

Is that from Germany, or where? Don't you have to burn a new CD every time there's a security patch? Such as if your firefox on your bootable knoppix needed this patch, you'd have to make a whole new cd wouldn't you?

Due to the extremely large number of inaccurate and idiotic posts you've presented to this point, and your tendancy to encompass the very definition of the word "troll" on this forum, you are no longer relevant. Thanks and have a nice day.

It'd be fascinating to know why...

1) Knoppix security patches seem so critical to GE, in light of the fact that Knoppix runs with a read-only OS on a live CD, and THAT runs by default with all writeable drives mounted read-only, and

2) downloading an iso and burning a new CD seems like a prohibitively difficult task for GE (along with cut and paste and simple command line work), especially considering that the iso is available free of charge, CD's are cheap, and CD burning software is so simple even he could use it, and

3) why, if he doesn't like Knoppix, he doesn't just use the Microsoft Windows XP live CD?
