NYCPHP Meetup

[inforequest]

You might consider a Linux Live CD setup, with instructions for the user 
to boot from the CD.

Knoppix and Gentoo come to mind... they boot fast and are way 
compatible, and you end up in a full LAMP environment for running your 
ap. Not sure of licensing issues but you can check that out.

I did this with a library situation where they had a bunch of old PCs 
networked but unworthy of M$ upgrades. Booted them all with a liveCD and 
custom desktop, and never looked back (486's and PII's still running 
virtually overhead free to this day).

If you like this idea, check out the K12 linix project for an example of 
how some guys did this really, really well (although they use RH and not 
a liveCD, because they need alot of stuff)
