Pendrive Linux to the rescue!
,----[ Quote ]
| Since most laptop and desktop computers
| these days can boot from a USB drive, one
| of the handiest utilities in my toolbox is
| an installation of Pendrive Linux.
|
| Pendrive Linux gives you a bootable,
| fully-working linux system on a USB stick.
| I use a 2GB ByteStor flash drive
| personally, with the default install of
| the Pendrive Linux system. From what I've
| read, you can go as far as to install
| larger systems like Ubuntu on a flash
| drive, but I've stuck to this slightly
| more compact system (more out of laziness,
| to be honest).

| Before I was forced to switch to Linux by
| the untimely death of my Windows computer
| i had a working graphics tablet. My
| graphics tablet was a wonderful thing,
| very comfortable to use, very responsive
| and surprisingly cheap. Unfortunately it
| was also very new to the market and there
| is still no Linux support for it, although
| some super nerds have gotten it going on
| Ubuntu. Anyway back in those days when it
| was still working I would spend hours
| sketching away with it in either GIMP or
| Photoshop as the fancy took me, and this
| illustration is the result of one of those
| happy sketching sessions with my ol' Wacom
| Bamboo - OK actually, as you can read in
| this series of GIMP tutorial posts, it
| took two or three sessions to get this
| complex digital painting to the stage you
| see it here.

|
| Now comes the fun part, all that's left to
| do is keep adding little details,
| smoothing rough bits and doodling on other
| interesting bits, like the vegetation at
| the feet of the spaceman and the monster
| in the image.

| I now have an operation version of Linux on a Pendrive. It might be worth
| noting that the ink in the pen dried up a long time ago. I look at my handy
| little pendrive and smile. Then I look at the pile of notes I wrote while I
| was trying to get it to work. For the moment I will continue to bask in my
| Linux victory and for now I think I will put the notes in my computer room.
