See Linuxcoin with Persistence?  http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7374.0

Thanks!! It has even been noticed (although not yet endorsed) by allinvain  Embarrassed

It would be comforting if some of the veteran technical bitcoin people could verify its secureness and add it to the bitcoin.org client download page as a secure endorsement.

Included in the image file should also be a pre-set free license firewall with rule set to just allow bitcoin client traffic.

The average, computer novice, bitcoin user do not want to (/ can not) set this up manually.

Can someone add to bitcoin.org's client page the following for Bitcoin to succeed securely:

A downloadable, lightweight bootable image file that automatically boots up into the bitcoin client when a usb stick of 2gb or so is connected to the computer and the computer is booted while it is attached.

It can be free license linux lightweight, automatically opening the Bitcoin client and storing the bitcoin block chain and wallet files on the usb - thus giving an easy to use client and a sterile environment.  It should only do bitcoin - if the user is done with bitcoin transactions - they shut down.
