While I think this is a cool solution for private or trusted usage, I do see two issues for enterprise usage due to aufs:
1) Minor: It might happen, that some log-file runs crazy and fills the ram. In this case a reboot will solve the issue. This might be unwanted, though. 2) Installing any kind of software is much easier, as more directories are writeable then with the tmpfs-solution. Once someone does become root (already having an anonymous login) the world is open... :) Morty On 2011-07-10 11:35, Reinhard Tartler wrote: > Last friday we've been experimenting with creating thin clients using > the live-build infrastructure.
