Carrying a router around might not be the best option for staying low-profile. I like Chrome OS but am addicted to Pidgin with OTR. It's really the only thing keeping me from trying out a Chromebook. (Even Photoshop is available 'in the cloud'). If you need to install a few programs locally but like the overall idea and features, JoliOS looks to be a good option: http://www.jolicloud.com/jolios Somewhat off-topic: I reject the idea that because something isn't right for Syrians, that it's not useful. There is an incredible spectrum of threat models to consider. And usability is a factor. It's worth considering that state-sponsored Windows spyware is a major problem. But people still use it because the realistic alternative is more difficult to use (even Ubuntu has a sharp learning curve). Best, Griffin Boyce
