[wplug] One more thing to love aboot Dell laptops

[Mike Griffin]

Let's see, Knoppix on a 1G thumb drive. You could use any computer that 
will support booting from USB, have your favorite OS AND all your 
personal files on a keychain ornament. Won't have to mess with the host 
system one bit. You may have to change your network/dial-up settings 
every time you boot on a different PC to get on the internet/intranet 
though == World domination. ;)
