While researching something completely unrelated I came across the following, which is quite interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_Node_Problem Might seem at first mostly based around cloud computing. But the more interesting stuff is the DoD's use of LiveCD's and ramdisk. It almost makes me think a bit about my presentation for tomorrow night. Whats to say a diskless system doesn't run entirely out of ram, vs requiring the network for all operations. Would be more like operating on a snapshot vs live image, but that might be exactly what is wanted. Just some food for thought, and either way something to consider with regard to security. Its one thing to secure your network, but what about the things that use your network, the end nodes. -- William L.
