I am collecting various Usage of Live CD for my study.

Till now my research has listed following ways

* Banks Providing Live CD with Browser Homepaged to Bank Website.
* Internet Cafe's operating on Live CD,
* To Setup Diskless dumb terminals / Thin clients booting on Live Disk for cheap workstation alternative. LTSP will be a good alternative
* Ethical Hacking, penetration testing.
* Un-Ethical Hacking or Cracking.
* Disaster Recovery.
* Forensic evidence collection.
* Testing any Distro before switching to it.
* OS on the RUN (when using Live USB mode)(or custom build)
* Portable Electronic Workbench. <- Preinstalled toolkit for electronics development.
* Portable Testing Workbench. <- complete with software testing tools installed
* Portable WebServer with demo (for web development organizations.) (Browser opening and showing the webpages)

I am thinking of collection all the usage that i can so this is the message to Linux Questions community, please provide your suggestion.

Note : same post has been published by me in 2-3 other forums also in order to coverup as much large user base as i can.

eagarly waiting for response.

OS Migration or mass setup / replication of system in corporate or other large scale setup .... that's a cool usage.
