They don't, but I do ;-)

And as you guess it's based on Knoppix, or rather Damn Small Linux,
which in turn is based on Knoppix.

There was some talk today about how to achieve this using my "SlimCD" in
the plugins forum.

My own dedicated slimserver machine is running on SlimCD. It needed some
tweaking, but has been running now for a few weeks without a minor
glitch. I installed it to a CF card using DSL's "frugal install".

I thought about enhancing it with some server management tools (to get
"Windows" file sharing). But time is limited...
