Stateless Debian Project Launched
Hi,
We have just initiated Stateless Debian Project
Detail of project are given below
Summary
This project was started by Fedora (Redhat) but is no longer in active
development and will not be included in next release of fc4 , this
projects aims to provide longterm commitment to the concept & port it to
100% community based distro like Debian
Stateless Linux converts normal Linux desktop/clients to Stateless
machines or appliances, which mean if throw your computer out of window
you still will be able to exactly same same settings/data when you log
from any other pc in the network ....A single administrator can easily
manage network thousands of desktops ...Stateless Linux centralizes the
state in a Gold server (different from CFengine) and rest of clients
are updated regularly from it . This is different from thin clients as
local processing power and memory of clients is used (or cached client)

Project Goals
1) Port relevant parts of RH State Linux (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/stateless/) to Debian
2)Extend/integrate Stateless Linux threw existing projects like DBRL
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL <http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL>
and Debian CCD infrastructure
3)Meets most of OSDL Desktop Linux specification
4) Long term community based , vendor neutral project
5) Member of "Move 2 Debian" project
Right now this project is in pre beta stage and we are preparing Stateless Linux White paper and started porting portions of RH Stateless Linux to Debian .
Any Suggestions/Ideas will appreciated :-) ..if anyone is interested from this list then pl let me know
Regards,
Gaurav
