Changelog: removed writting about the small size of TinySofa [Based on Version 17]
This LivePC is good for classroom and home use. It will rejuvenate to a clean state after each reboot (if "Keep my changes" is not checked). MokaFive professional services can provide a custom Player without the "Keep my changes" feature so that each boot up the the LivePC is assured to be the same golden image for all students. The web home page can be modified with the preference of the teacher or parent by choosing "Keep my changes" and doing a package and upload. The current home page is dansguardian.org to remind trial users that this LivePC has a web filter built in. This web filter can be modified to monitor all web traffic in the class room (if all the other class room browsers point their proxy settings to this LivePC and two lines of the dansguardian.conf file are edited.) There is also another LivePC in the MokaFive lab for web filtering multiple computers called "Internet Filter" TinySofa designed just as a web proxy filter.
