I was checking out the SLAX project, it's pretty spiffy. Especially the Kill Bill iteration.

Situation:

I am a webmaster for a fairly large company. I do not currently have a laptop (a fact I mean to remedy, ASAP). I am dependant on certain windows apps (Explorer and Photoshop). It's not a question of choice, I HAVE to use them.

I am almost always near a computer with an internet connection, even when out of the house. Because I use a VPN client, a collection of htm files, specific ftp settings, and email... it is impractical to use anybody else's machine... or is it?

Idea:

A live Slackware CD+RW that contains Wine, Open Office, IE 6.0, Photoshop 7.0, FTP, VPN Client, Email, and all my important files. All set up and ready to use. Also, I would be able to modify, add, or delete all of my main files on the disc.

Can this be done? Or MUST I use an external storage device for file manipulation (USB drive)? Any ideas about the best way to achieve these goals is VERY welcome. Thanks!

Slax is pretty cool. And it might just do what you want, especially if you boot it from a USB key. I am not an expert but managed to get it to boot from a USB key -- much much faster than running a live cd and you can write to the key, as well as customize the distro by adding whatever modules you want. For the technical details, have you checked out the forum at the official Slax site? Lots of help and advice there....
