just a idea

[mike coulombe]

Hi,I was using a computer at a friends house today and had a idea.
Would it be possible to make a version of ubuntu that could run from a usb drive.
This way a student or anyone for that matter could take their operating system with them.
   I was thinking about a mini version that would contain one of the screen readers,
orca or lsr, a word processor, gedit will probably work
and a few other basic tools.
I don't know how small a system like this could be,
but I can see it would be very useful.
Just a thought, Mike.
