After doing a search on the internet, Deepfreeze appears to be an application that restores your system upon reboot.

There are 3 ways that I could think of doing this.

First and easiest is just to work from a LiveCD. Garaunteed to bootup the same everytime.

Second is to have 2 partitions of equal size on your computer, then run something like this on boot:

Code:

/usr/bin/rsync -ax --delete-before /mnt/orig_sys/ /mnt/root/

Third, just have your root(/) partition mount as read only.

DeepFreeze for Linux

I haven't tried it personally, but after a quick glance it seems like it might work. I'm going to begin testing it today (at work).
