Abstract
LiveWN was prototype during 2006 as a grid-bootable CD supporting diskless, easy-todeploy worker nodes, requiring virtually zero administration upon deployment, through a technique of automatic subscription. The system mixed key technologies including LiveCD (a self-booting Linux CD), gLite (the grid middle ware stack), OpenVPN (virtual private network) and OpenAFS (open distributed file system), proving that the initial concept was correct and workable. In the meantime the same concept has been expanded in a larger DVD format, in order to include a graphical environment, CERN related software, Povray, WINE, VLC and a list of other tools which we still keep expanding. Hereby, we wish to present the currently existing technology, the benefits and limitations, as well as a series of issues that still have to be addressed in greater depth and offer opportunity for cutting-edge research for the near future.
