Well, the title says it all: I want a server that I'm building to not keep any file modification done, each time it reboots. Like Norton GoBack or Deepfreeze does on Windows.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look to Ofris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-79gQG-UGZo&feature=player_embedded)

Simple really:
Make a virtual machine on VMware or Virtualbox. Make a tar ball of the VM directory. Each time you restart the VM with vmrun, untar the whole ball of wax first.

You could make a snapshot of the virtual machine. Then, on reboot just restore the snapshot to return the virtual machine back to a previous state.

Ofris will make it. Virtual Machines are not a viable option.

Thanks for the help.
