Strategies for going mobile

| DSL is one of the Linux distributions that lends itself handily to being
| installed on a USB drive. Note that you can typically only run an OS from a
| USB drive if the system you're using it on supports booting from a USB
| device. Not every PC does -- in fact, my own late-model Sony VAIO notebook
| (vintage 2006) didn't, much to my dismay. You might be able to upgrade the
| BIOS on a machine that doesn't currently support it and thus add it after the
| fact, but that's entirely up to the whim of the manufacturer; check with your
| computer or motherboard maker first.

Most options there involve Linux (perhaps because other operating systems lag
behind in that respect).
