Has any of you run your system from a CD? I read somewhere that it is possible, and that, for security reasons, it is very good, as nothing can be modified in a CD. And in the case of a root compromise, you just need to reboot. Well, of course, there are some things that need to be modified, which you can run from a filesystem in RAM ... or something like that. And in the case of the compromise you'll need to fix it, of course. Have you tried this? Comments welcome. Thanks. Bye all.
