Sorry, I havenot read all the responses. This may be duplicating others. Back 'in the day', one option of the Linux Terminal Project was to basically allow machines to be turned off and boot from a network server keeping no local data. Thus cookies, local files, etc, all go away and only use what comes from the server. At that time it was lightweight enough to run from RAM an not need writable swap. But then again, that is when mainframes still walked the earth. Anyway, it might be a reasonable thing to look back into LTP.
At that time it was all 'free'/open source. Not with paid gateway to the 'good stuff'.
