Howdy yall,
I'm still new here, but I was thinking. We have a portable Mac OS why not have an OS that can use Other towers and machines? I happen to know that there is a Linux Distrobution called "Damn Small Linux" (DSL). Located here: http://damnsmalllinux.org/
Did you even bother to search the forums?

may i remind you of the forum guidelines and being nice to new users. he has only ben a member for like an hour and a half.
a gentle reminder to Search before posting would be nice, and keep this in mind "mattig89ch" when posting here.
P.S. Welcome mattig89ch \(^^)/
I guess that was kind of harsh. I hadn't had my coffee yet.
no problem
Damn Small linux is already avalible on a Live CD and there are instructions on how to make it boot off a thumb drive on the site. I am wondering whether the person who made the origional post saw that information.
I was simply suggesting that we give more then one option for an OS.
Just checked the OS tab and saw Linux, Coming Soon.
I'll search next time everyone.
Thanks for the replies
dont use DSL, it has a very old kernel.
DSL is good to set up very very old Computer for network f.x. but not to be booted on new machines....
Much better and very fast is
larch
a portable version of linux arch
There is also a Portable OpenSUSE and *buntu as well.
hi silentcon
they forget larch
larch is not very known but i think much faster than all distros showed in your blog link
its based on arch linux and can be configured very personal.
there is a package-manager like apt or yast called pacman
when u want to shutdown the session u have 2 options:
save the changes on the system drive (like update or install or configuration of applications)
or dont save the changes on system drive.
this reference is very useful and the wiki is very good
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide
this wiki is for arch, but larch is almost the same exept more portable
try it out and u will like it http://larch.berlios.de/
I personaly have larch on first partition, on second i have a fat32 everybody can read and on third i have ntfs truecrypt partition with portable apps
What about?

* FaunOS (discontinued lasdt September 2008)
