I've been using FaunOS (http://www.faunos.com/) for a couple of months now, and my opinion can only be described as excellent. It's a live archlinux system focused on booting from detachable usb media, fits in a 1GB stick, does a wonderful job in hardware detection (I tested it in 3 different machines), saves all changes back to the usb stick, suspends to usb and it's FAAAAAST! Wherever I can't take my arch-laptop, I take my usb stick! -- ##### # ##### ####### "We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. ##### # ##### You will be approximated."
