Have you heard about Mandriva Flash ? It is quite nice. This is a 2GB USB key loaded with Mandriva 2007. This is like a live-cd except that it is faster (reading on USB is faster than reading on CDROM), and it saves the configuration for your applications on the key. And there's some space to save your documents, and install new programs. You can use any computer as if it was your own computer :) There's KDE, KMail, a PDF reader, OpenOffice, Firefox, and even compiz for a 3D Desktop. http://www.mandriva.com/en/linux/2007/node_3481 Nicolas _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
