Addendum:
Another intersting article that was posted (/highlighted) last night speaks
of the ability to use your USB key as a session saver, so to speak (with
Linux, of course).
Ubuntu Linux Live CD: Save data & desktop information on USB device
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Linux (other Linux distro also able to save data on external USB
| hard disk or USB pen drive) has this nifty feature that allows saving both
| data and desktop settings.
|
| a) Use other Linux computer or boot from Ubuntu Linux live CD
|
| b) Plug USB pen or USB external hard disk

I can't recall exactly what it was that Canonical introduced as an innovative
way of working from everywhere owing to some service or a centralised
repository of one's files (/home directory).
Best wishes,
