    Portable Linux

    FLASH: Introducing GlobeTrotter!

    It's fast, it's light, it's slick and it's a complete Linux
    system on one mobile hard drive...

    You may already have a mobile phone, a laptop, a PDA, a calculator, a
    tablet PC and a portable paper shredder, but there's one thing you've
    been missing, and that's a light, inexpensive, yet powerful mobile
    Linux system. Mandrakesoft's new GlobeTrotter, based on the LaCie
    Mobile Hard Drive designed by FA Porsche, is a USB mobile hard drive
    loaded with a specially tuned version of your favorite Linux
    distribution, and it's the missing piece in today's range of mobile
    systems.

    GlobeTrotter gives you a complete Mandrakelinux system and 30 GB of
    user data on one beautifully designed and fast LaCie hard drive. Using
    it is child's play : plug it in whatever computer you have at hand,
    and turn it on. All your hardware is detected and configured
    automatically - just sit back for a minute, and get ready to
    experience GlobeTrotter. It has all you've learnt to love in a
    Mandrakelinux system : ease of use, stability, speed, fun, and the
    power you need to get real work done.

    Seems kind of expensive... probably because of the hard drive...

    But can't you make your own?

    Take a Maxor one touch backup drive with about 80gb will cost about $150 or so....

    Then load your own distro.

    For booting, you can use a boot cd, floppy, or boot directly to the usb HD...
    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
