[TriLUG] JOB? - create customized distro

[Kevin J.]

I think that's exactly what rPath does actually. I downloaded the Zimbra .iso from Zimbra.com and it's a bootable Linux distro with a nice https WebGUI for setup and configuration. It has rPath's name and icon all over it. 

If that's not what you're looking for though, you may want to try http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/.

Perhaps I fail to understand your requirements but someone at rPath 
created a livecd for Cristobal Palmer.
