How Linux Saved A Fast Food Giant.

,----[ Quote ]
| Our last choice was to re-image the POS 
| system using our existing Ghostcast server 
| infrastructure. While mostly automated, each 
| one had to be kicked off manually in each 
| restaurant and took nearly an hour. We 
| wanted to avoid this at all costs just 
| because of the huge amounts of hassle 
| involved. So how does Linux get involved? My 
| idea was to create a small, self-extracting, 
| PXE-bootable Linux system, mount an existing 
| shared folder on the server in the 
| restaurant, mount the the workstationâs 
| Windows partition with read/write access, 
| delete the broken svchost.exe and the virus 
| definition, copy over a working svchost.exe, 
| and finally reboot the machine. Logically it 
| could work and it meets all the criteria. 
| Small, fast, andâmost importantlyâfully 
| automated.
