Joe was asking on IRC about ways to boot with a fresh copy of a GIS workstation every time, ie all changes made during the last use are gone.
Here are some ideas: 1.Install a live disc to a harddrive, it's read only by default so it will reset every time you boot. See http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ Or take the harddrives out and just run from usb sticks. 2.If all the machines in the room are just remote terminals, then you can run virtual images in something like vmware which has an option to revert back after each boot. Could also look at vmwareplayer which only lets you boot images to begin with. Either way the process starts with installing 1 machine, loading the software, configuration and files a creating a new image from this.
