While I think this is a cool solution for private or trusted usage, I do see two issues for enterprise usage due to aufs:
- Minor: It might happen, that some log-file runs crazy and fills the ram. In this case a reboot will solve the issue. This might be unwanted, though.
correct, local users can shoot themselves in the foot.
- Installing any kind of software is much easier, as more directories are writeable then with the tmpfs-solution. Once someone does become root (already having an anonymous login) the world is open... :)
boot with option 'noroot'. cf.: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man7/live-config.7.html
