:) I guess i neglected to mention why i was considering that list of
distros i mentioned: lightness, speed, possibility of loading
everything into ram/run from there/therefore unplug my key once it's
up, ... I would prefer for it to be able to run off ram in order to
prolong the life of my key. But then again, I want installed
"extensions"/packages to be persistent - otherwise I would have to go
through the trouble to customize/install stuff everytime I booted
before i could get a workable workstation! Which is why I asked about
persistence.
