Drupal Camp Beginners Live CD

After helping out in this year's Florida Drupalcamp, I began to wonder if there was a better way to get a working Drupal installation on attendees computers. With the wide variety of operating systems and configurations and the often unreliable wifi situations, why not package a live cd that users can boot to with everything they need?

I had just updated Crunchbang Statler and noticed a very handy install script that basically added a LAMP environment along with git and a few other things.

I added some automatic login and installed a Drupal 7 Installation in the localhost, and then set Chrome to open automatically to the site.

Then using Remastersys I packaged the whole thing up into an burnable .iso that boots a live duplicate.

I've packaged it up on GitHub: https://github.com/benhosmer/Drupal-Camp-Live-CD

The README has further instructions and details the software installed and also has all of the passwords needed.

I wouldn't mind some help testing it and if you know any organizers that might find it useful, pass it on to them. It could easily be customized with a camp-specific installation of Drupal for the beginner's tracks.
