Linux On A USB Drive

Found a cool site that has a small distribution of Linux. So small that I loaded it on a 512Meg USB drive and then used Virtual PC to run it. If your BIOS supports booting from USB you can leave out the Virtual PC part and save yourself $100.00. I guess when our MIS department was specking out laptops they failed to consider booting from a USB might be handy since our ThinkPads don't have floppy drives.


Love the "Half Gigger"

We are in and running. There is also a small distribution of "Open Office" that will fit on a USB drive as well.
The credit for the idea goes to "PC Stats" because as everyone knows I've never had an original idea in my life.
