hehehe ... yes, that sure works in your favour. I thought about a similar 
setup for a while, too. You could always store configfiles on a floppy and 
some shareware or open source firewalls use this kind of setup. 

For those who worry about not being able to store logfiles: That's easy to 
settle. Forward and store them on another Linux machine inside the protected 
network.

My reason not to go for it was that I'd like to twist the configuration from 
time to time to test new stuff.
