or you could make your own with DSL and save quite bit if you are inclined. but the prices listed isn't to bad. FYI, The key is to set the PC to boot from USB, older(more than 2 years) PCs and laptops are not able to do that.

How is this different from a CD distro? Okay, you could write to whatever space is left, but still, Knoppix isn't a "computer on a disk", is it?

[Luke Skyfreeper]

It's not a computer. It's just a Linux distribution, with some software, on a flash drive.

You can already do this on a 10-cent cd.

It works beautifully. Simply tell your computer to boot to the USB drive.

Except that you need a computer to run it.

I'll be impressed when you can plug a monitor, keyboard, mouse & printer into it. Oh, and a CAT5 cable.

Make your own for less. You can get a 512mb usb flash drive for under $20, add DSL and you are good to go. Or you can just load up the applications you want and run them from the usb stick from windows. Portable Firefox is available here.

Since I had many disastrous experiences with flashdrives (losing data) I won't use them. The brand was SanDisk. I suspect that the probability of data loss is higher on dry days, when static electricity is higher.
