live-cd distro that writes to cd

This is an interesting concept.

-snip-

The world's first live CD that allows users to save their data back to the CD 
has been born. It is called Puppy Linux and the first experimental alpha 
release is now available for download and testing: "So, how does it work? 
What you have to do is boot the PC with the multi-session CD inserted in the 
CD-burner drive -- thus, Puppy automatically knows which drive is the 
CD-burner, in case you have more than one CD/DVD drive. Then you use Puppy in 
the normal way. At shutdown, all the changed files in your home directory are 
saved back to CD. That's it. Next time you boot, all the personal files are 
restored."

They are recommending a CDR not CDRW so I could see the disk getting full 
eventually, but still an interesting conept none the less.
