I know a lot of schools that use DeepFreeze to protect their Windows machines. In case you're unfamiliar, it is a program that allows almost unlimited access to a os, but any and all changes are eliminated upon a restart. It is turned on and off with a simple password.
I am looking for something like this for ubuntu so that I can allow people to use my machine for testing and such. I've considered alternatives to this method such as live cds, but I have settled on this idea.
You see I know of plenty of ways to limit access to sensitive areas of the file system, but I would prefer to let them to break the machine if it happens that way. I think it is the best way to learn.
Anyway, any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
