Hi, with reference to this thread, rather than putting a whole program on the stick, you could always copy your home folder to a usb drive then mount it on any system at /home, add your username and you're off!
Has anyone tried anything like this?
True, I was thinking friends computers though. I have noticed rumours that passwords are out and a usb authentication stick type thing may supercede. If you had your home folder on it too you could rule the universe (well, your friends computers at least!!).
