Last week, I have released Dotsch/UX 1.0. - Dotsch/UX is a Linux distribution for BOINC which easily installs and boot from a USB stick, hard disk and from diskless clients and also has some interfaces to setup the diskless server and the clients automatically.

For more informations have a look at http://www.dotsch.de/Dotsch_UX

The USB and diskless part was not tested with CPDN. Due the special hardware (disk space) requirements of the CPDN project, and eventualy corruption of the long term data due media failures, I am not shure, if it\'s a good idea to ran CPDN from a USB stick or diskless client. But the hard disk install should work well...
