And of course there is Portable GIS:

easily achieve that objective. Depends on the scenario which would work best.

Joe was asking on IRC about ways to boot with a fresh copy of a GIS
workstation every time, ie all changes made during the last use are
gone.
Here are some ideas:
1.Install a live disc to a harddrive, it's read only by default so it
will reset every time you boot. See http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
Or take the harddrives out and just run from usb sticks.
2.If all the machines in the room are just remote terminals, then you
can run virtual images in something like vmware which has an option
to
revert back after each boot. Could also look at vmwareplayer which
only
lets you boot images to begin with.
Either way the process starts with installing 1 machine, loading the
software, configuration and files a creating a new image from this.
