Ummm I don't like the idea, is better to have a small hd, like those old
1.4gb drives that a just CD.
Imagine that there is a security update (kernel, iptables) and you've
got to burn a new CD every time that this happens...
Also is nice to play trought ssh to another host ;-)

I have been thinking about having my firewall box boot and run from a CD
so that there are no writable filesystems and there should be no need to
