I've played a little with Knoppix [1], and I was impressed with what they can cram into a single CD. There's even docs about remastering Knoppix to suit your needs [2].
Things to think about:
o No writable disk. This means there would be nowhere to put logs and other stuff. Does Knoppix have a ramdisk?
o Speed. Not sure if this would be a factor.
o Distributing other software. I'm not sure what Sun has to say about distributing their JRE. I think it would be fine. Acrobat Reader would be another "must" to show off the FOP. SVG viewers are good as well.
It would be really cool to pop in a CD, and have the system boot to a web browser with a running instance of Cocoon. I'm not totally sure how useful it would be, but it might be worth at least checking out.
WDYT?
Tony
