Hello, I've found a product on freshmeat.net that allows to run tomcat-based websites off cdrom, allowing to produce CDs that work on Windows, MacOS X and Linux at the same time (also it seems to support perl, python, php & mysql). Apache is used for serving static content, and it has a nice support for stopping everything and releasing the media.
