Penguin In Your Pocket: Running Linux On USB
,----[ Quote ]
| There are some very good reasons to create a bootable Linux Live CD using a
| USB drive or other flash memory device. Many netbook PCs, for example, save
| space by eliminating a built-in optical drive; this makes it impossible to
| run a traditional Linux Live CD/DVD.
|
| A bootable USB stick also gives you the ultimate portable computer: A
| self-contained Linux desktop system that will run on any PC that supports
| booting from a USB storage device. And unlike most Live CDs, a USB or flash
| drive allows you to create persistent custom desktop settings and to store
| your documents and other files.

Is it the End of the Road for Live CDs?
,----[ Quote ]
| If it is not the end for live CDs , nor even the beginning of the end,
| perhaps then it is the end of the beginning. They braced themselves and did
| their duty, introducing a new generation of users to the genius of GNU/Linux
| and extracting impetuous users from bricked machines—especially me. When they
| eventually recede into the mists of fond memory we will remember them. Hail
| Klaus. Bless you.

Death of the CD, a new world for Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| I ask this, because, while we do in fact have distributions that run off pen
| drives, we don't have any way to write distros to flash cards yet. And if
| the flash card is going to be the next medium of choice for music and movies,
| and likely all digital media, including software, how long will it be before
| people start demanding Linux distros that are capable of being installed from
| flash media?

Gdium Liberty Netbook Uses USB Key for a Hard Drive
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's a netbook with a twist: Emtec's 10-inch Gdium Liberty has no hard
| drive. Instead, it will ship with a bootable USB storage stick (dubbed the
| G-Key) that runs Mandriva G-Linux and has over 50 open-source applications
| pre-installed: including OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and Spam Assassin.

EMTEC unveils new Gdium netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| It appears that EMTEC’s new Gdium netbook is ready for prime-time, or in this
| case, ready for display at CES. We went hands-on with a non-functioning
| prototype of the Gdium last August at IFA 2008 and now have pictures and
| specs for what appears to be the final product.
