The new Knoppix 3.8 has added an interesting feature by incorporating UnionFS into the filesystem. What does this mean? Well it means I can modify a file in /etc without a problem. The underlying unionfs structure writes the mod to /ramdisk and the change is transparent.
In fact, any change can be made. Software can be added. And further, those changes can be incorporated with Knoppix’s existing persistent home dir feature. So every time you boot it, it picks up your mods. Knoppix already has so many uses and so much functionality. And it keeps getting better.
First read about it on oreillynet.
