Railo, deployed on my Mac takes 5.5 meg (no application or database).
You probably could distribute a small plug-n-play app on a 32Meg USB
Memory-stick for about $16.
A 2 Gig USB Memory stick is $328
A CD/DVD is cheaper and has much more capacity, but the idea of
read-write plug and play is attractive.
But, what I think would be really cool, would be to distribute your
plug-n-play CFAnywhere app on an iPod
A 4-Gig mini-iPod costs $249, comes in colors, has both FireWire & USB
2,0 -- oh, it has other uses too :).
I don't speak German so I didn't download jmuffin -- it would be nice
to see a more robust Railo example that used more tags & a Database.
When you implement a more robust cfhttp tag (one that can read a
delinited text file & build a query), it is a simple matter ti include
a program that creates and populates a database on the RDBMS of the
user's choosing.

I saw that in the documentation -- but I am not sure I understand,
What is the advantage of each web app having its own administrator --
many things like datasources usually would be set at a system level,
rather than an application
I can see a need at the application level for an administrator to set
application customization, users, authorization, db maintenance, etc.
-- but that is usually provided with the application, as needed.
What am I missing?

Of course, you knew I'd ask -- when can we expect the beta & will it
be a public beta.
Keep up the good work!
