The advice is valid, especially for the case where a Live USB device will
be used heavily for a period of several months, such as for a SoaS
classroom and personal device with a lot of Activity testing, updating,
media downloading, etc.

Yes, a single overlay file
in the /LiveOS directory of the device.
fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image
has more of the details.
Trisquel 7 on a Sugar Toast,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Trisquel_On_A_Sugar_Toast
has an advantage over SoaS, currently, as it uses the overlayfs,
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt
which doesn't fail as catastrophically when it fills up.
