I believe OpenBSD could fit that role. Here's an old-ish thread on running it off read-only media -

Last time I tried it AOLServer had some signal handling issues under OpenBSD, the major symptom being you couldn't cleanly shut down your nsd processes. That was using the 3.3.1+ad13 distribution though, things may well have changed in the intervening years.

So I am curious, in terms of buy vs. make
A: Can I buy one of these in a small, raided, secure rackable form?
B: Is there a version and distribution of *nix, *bsd that can run AOLserver in which the entire system except for /var/log /var/"postgres-data" or /var/"berkeley db data" can be run off of CD (and is considered to be a secured distribution?)
I realize requiring AOLserver etc. is drastic overkill, but for me it's the swiss army knife that would get it in a reasonably secure fashion to market quickest.
Then once one of these is built and installed at this one client's site, what do you think, is there a big, small, or medium market for this?
