Neat, I notice that the new Ubuntu 8.10 can be written onto a USB key. I believe this is for a live install - not sure if it can run permanently that way, but it would be cool to try out.
USB keys are changing so quickly it's hard to keep track. A few years ago my company got some 16 MB keys branded with the company logo. I still have some but it would be quite embarrassing to give one out to a customer so I give them out with an instrument that used to export data to a floppy (a 16 MB USB key is small and old, but MUCH better than a floppy!) I also have some "updated" and snazzier 128 MB keys again with the company logo but in cool stainless steel - however it would be embarrassing to give them out now. I might experiment with something like this for fun: http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews05/thumbraid_1 :-) Incidentally the generic packaging on those USB keys is identical to the "updated" keys I have. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55290 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
