Title: Taking Linux with You


How can you keep your favorite distribution on hand when you’re on the go? Some people don’t know how to set up a live USB installation without booting into Windows first. Others wouldn’t know which distribution to pick for a storage device with limited capacity. What if you don’t want to carry a flash drive everywhere? Are there any more convenient or, dare I say, ''covert'' ways to set up portable Linux?

How can you keep your favorite distribution on hand when you're on the go? Some people don't know how to set up a live USB installation without booting into Windows first. Others wouldn't know which distribution to pick for a storage device with limited capacity. What if you don't want to carry a flash drive everywhere?
