	Sounds great.  Many people have discussed doing this; very few
	have completed it.  

	Another idea is a live cd that requires no permanent storage at
	all.  The nickname is randomly generated, or the config is
	stored in a ram disk.  This way all one has to do is to boot off
	the cd/dvd and has a valid tor server.  I've been playing with
	knoppix to do this, but frankly, life keeps getting in the way
	of making any great progress on it.  I know others are in the
	same situation.    There are a few live cd OSes that include
	tor, however they aren't focused on being solely Tor servers. 

	Cheers.
