Stateless linux

[gaurav]

I was just  wondering how hard this concept of state less Linux will be 
to port to other distro (like debian) ? any idea if there code written 
od code written specifically for fedora or its just collection of 
unities and scripts . if some could just point me fc specific code wud 
be great :-)
