One of the mappers I talk to from time to time had a machine die, they were knowledgeable enough to rebuild it using Unix but after playing with freePBX and knowing it can be done that's where the thought came from.
Wasn't the POSM project something like this? I seem to be seeing more mappers from different places and I wondered if something along these lines might be useful. External USB connected DVD drives are fairly inexpensive, could an ISO image be booted from a USB stick? I haven't looked at the OSGeo live DVD yet, I have an old dell laptop lying around so I may try it shortly.
