Public Health Grid Appliance

We are imagining a future, low-cost, downloadable, easy-to-use, plug-and-play public health grid appliance. We encourage you to add your thoughts in this early, early stage of development. (to add comments- sign in using your google account)

Downloadable

Graphical user interface

Configurable (discover, install and configure available services- for example, a RODSA-DAI service)

Ability to connected to databases

Ability to easily apply x.509 certificates and join public health trust fabric

I think that there should be a hardware device version similar to a linksys/netgear router that is very inexpensive and merely plugs into a network and is configured through a web interface.

Suggest customizing a 'live' distribution of linux such as knoppix so that a user can burn an ISO, boot off of a CD, and then after some minor configuration (certificates and database connectors if appropriate) be connected as a node on the network.

I am in the process of developing a VDT proof of concept for this in my spare time. More to come... If anyone is interested in contributing, please let me know. As of today, the 'base' distribution supports X (so we have a GUI if we want it) but I have not tested all of the VDT services.
