Cool Computer-On-a-Stick

[taranicole1988]

Hey, I just found this device on-line called a computer-on-a-stick, which is almost what it sounds like, a computer on a stick. I'd like to try it. Does anyone else have any thoughts on how it would work or does anyone own one? I would really love to know more about it.I also saw Bio USB Flash Drive on that site. I saw it at www.fingergear.com (It works in the USB drive and stores info.)

I wonder if you could just put knoppix on to a usb drive and make it bootable:

I know a guy at work who has a bootable version of Linux running off a pen drive. I'm not sure what version it is, but I know that it's pretty good. Some of the functionality is limited, but it's what you'd expect.

It's not really a "Computer-On-a-Stick" either. It's just an OS and software on a stick. To really be a "Computer-On-a-Stick" it would need it's own hardware etc. Just to be pedantic! :P
