Just another night of hunting for small linux distributions and/or live cds, hovered mostly on Knoppix, Damn Small Linux, and Puppy Linux, when suddenly I came up to Lamppix and Lamppix Mini. I have used XAMMP before, and I'd say that XAMMP is very easy and nifty. And then another very nifty idea: XAMMP (and more) on a live cd. From what I understand from skimming the Lamppix site, Lammpix Mini is intended to be the blank template on which you will install your web application to, and afterwards it should be ready for handing out (most probably as a demo cd). And the docs say that you will (most probably) have to use the BIG Lammpix for your web application development. I infer that you could also make your demo cd the install cd also if you want to. I imagine that you may do this on the boot like "boot demo" or "boot install", similar to most *nix installations.
Unfortunately for those who can't understand German, some XAMMP addons are documented in German. Even some FAQs are in German. And if I may ask (a possibly frequently asked question), what does it all mean in English? One very interesting addon for me is the Tomcat addon (documented in German), and unfortunately I can't understand German.
As for multisession live cds, we may now have use for the space not taken up by installing small-sized ISOs.
