Excellent list. The one thing I'd probably add is Samba and NFS |
| 14 |
filesystem support. I'd dropkick a nun for a decent, drop-in, bootable |
| 15 |
CD with those features. Backing up clients' data across a network when |
| 16 |
their system is unbootable is a bear of a chore; and our co-op student |
| 17 |
is sick of us stealing his machine to perform network backups. ;> |

If the LiveCD already supports this, I'll eat my hat. (Do I own a hat?) |

Ok, I'll buy a hat, then eat it. :> |
