Ubuntu On a Stick

[Bart Vullings (Windkracht8)]

Maybe we can do something like putting the '/home' on the stick and 
leave the rest on the computer HD. Then you can plug it in at home or at 
work and get the exact same feel to you're desktop. Install/upgrade of 
programs should be synchronised of course(maybe automatically with 
apt-get). A plus is that you're not putting the kernel + programs on 
you're disk, so a 128 meg would be large enough.

Is was thinking about something like this before, for in an office. 
Someone could take there stick and thuse take all there documents and 
settings with them to a different workplace. As long as the computers 
all have the same configuration on the HD.

Cheers,
Bart Vullings.
