Well I didn't cram it all onto a disk, the disk boots up and the real
working pieces are mounted over NFS...
I say your proposal is much more difficult. I'm working in a
comparitively well defined environemnt and most of the "important" (to
me that is) stuff doesn't change.
How do you determine who's system is a good model and who's is just a
bad idea (after you've matched hardware etc..)?

Except for maintainence, you're reading the best tech support I've
ever gotten, bar none. Most stuff gets atleast some response within
an hour, 27x7. I pay through the nose to get 4h support tht's usually
not as good :)
I really can't say enough about the quality of this mailing list!

I'm with the goblin guy :) aside from my "do it yourself" ways, the
security implications of this are scary. Not to say absolutly
insolvable, but far from trivial.
