Great!!

The software was not my problem at all it was a series of two bad USB keys. After discovering the hardware was faulty I learned Portable Apps is a terrific product that should be in everyone's pocket. As far my 12 month gap on this site I am sorry also, I do not get to frequent this as much as I would like. Again I am sorry Portable Apps rocks.

I don’t know how I ever functioned without my I-flapp before. It is the handiest thing I have ever owned. It has awesome portability, convenient and security.

And speaking of phones, Moto4lin does not connect with razr V3m phones , and if someone knows of something that does (I use Ubuntu) please contact me..

I'm not suggesting a distro war but Fedora has just as many, if not more, installations than Ubuntu/Debian. Leaving out half the community isn't very nice.

If I had the time, patience & IQ I would love to try all of those things. However, I was able to purchase USB keys with the current versions of Ubuntu and Knoppix preinstalled. These work extremely well, and the software available on them is at least an order of magnitude greater than DSL or Puppy. (I actually was able to make my own bootable Knoppix key, but it was for me too much hassle, and I would rather just support the guys who make this stuff for sale. Great article!
