+1 on that.
I have two (clones of each other) with XFCE & wine on them, and one software package under wine on there consuming about 7G. Alien Bob periodically makes fresh isos from current for the live usb, and there's a iso to squashfs conversion done when the usb disk is being made.
I don't really care what's on there, once I have wine, basic tools & internet. The wine is 5.18. SSD is faster than usb any day, so these serve as a 'save my a**' distro, and also for backups to usb drives. It's non-trivial to back up slackware when you're booting off slackware, with /proc, /sys, & /dev populated.
I only renew them every few years, but like everything else, they are backed up. I never trust one usb drive - a hang over from poor experiences with usb key longevity.
