ZerahStar Zesktop
ZerahStar Zesktop was a research and development project of ZerahStar, a Singapore-based Linux company. Its goal was to achieve a totally automated computing system that was capable of maintaining and fixing itself without any need for human intervention. Other possible features would include a highly portable and virus-free environment. Zesktop was still a project and concept under development; currently, only a simple, Gentoo-based live desktop CD exists.
