Mainly, these obstacles are represented by different hardware configurations that might require several ad-hoc activities to adapt a standard release to the specific environment, including company’s application profile. On the other hand, GNU/Linux live distributions provide to the users’ community new and interesting capabilities, as self-configuration and better usability, but loosing compatibility with original distributions, that is unaffordable in professionals scenarios. DSS (Debased Scripts Set) is an answer to both questions. It is a live distribution that includes an unmodified Debian-based Linux release and a modular-designed file system. %B OSS2006: Open Source Systems (IFIP 2.13) %S IFIP International Federation for Information Processing %I Springer %P 253 - 260 %G eng %R http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-34226-5_25 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/A%20tool%20to%20support%20the%20introduction.pdf
