All very good points, but I think he was looking for a management tool that could be used...regardless if you are portable or not.
I am just saying how I have used mine. I actually have a 16 GB stick that I use for a portable office & it has come in handy for doing real work on company owned gear...LOL. I haven't done it yet, but I want to add a portable version of VirtualBox & carry & linux distro inside it. Of course...you could have a stick that boots of a live distro as well. One additional thing i did add on my portable office stick is the putty suite. Great for logging into your home ssh server if you have one or whatever.
