Sure - it does for the OS what puppet does for configuration.
I was at a Wendy's during a big data center outage and all the kiosks were down.
For some reason their down state is to drop to Windows Explorer. I found it interesting that they were managing their international fleet of probably tens if thousands of terminals using puppet to ensure deployment consistency.
The filesystem didn't appear to be readonly to the kiosk user, though I didn't test that. (have some sympathy for IT guys)
This new project could attest to the OS level integrity of those systems on a Redhat derived system. That way you know nobody slipped in a keylogger during a datacenter outage.
I'll take another look when they support the Debian OS family - Redhat makes some very unfortunate decisions these days. Debian Security does a better job for my requirements.
People with large scale problems don't seem to have much PDS and can evaluate systems without ad hominum fallacies. It's good for making a list of emotional commenters though.
