Re: [Trisquel-users] DD'ing the Live DVD to the internal hard disk is good for public computers.
I did purchase one diskless TerranForce barebone and subsequently installed HDD by myself. Of course, the barebone came with original HDD bracket and screws. But the problem is that very few users are willing to even reinstall the preloaded operating system. They usually don't replace anything until they are forced to do so.

That's correct, yes. But that's on the hard disk, though...saving to the USB drive will still save you your files.

Not unless you are carrying a USB drive, then you won't need the cloud anyway.

In my opinion, ALL computers, tablets and phones should be diskless, like the Raspberry Pi, no matter what the chipset is. If you buy a computer, tablet or phone, it should come with an external disk, with your choice of a Free OS on it. No internal pre-installed garbage, easy to transfer to another device of any kind. After all, this is what computers USED to be like in the early 80's right? With their floppy disks?

My lab's public workstations are diskless. Users bring their HDD or SSD and connect them to the eSATA port.

Or, public computers don't even need hard disks and can run from the DVD which is truly read-only.
