I've installed Slackware64-current containing Plasma 5 on a Samsung 64gb ultra fit USB drive, and it's just amazing. Here is why I think it's amazing.

I can use it on to anything I own, or not own. I use it on my work laptop after hours to use it as my own personal laptop and it leaves no traces on how I am using the said laptop. I also have it configured to boot as a VM in Virtualbox. At work, I need Windows for a couple of items, but I boot Slackware Live into a VM and I have all my tools programs that I am comfortable with ready to go.

The USB drive isn't recognizable by windows, so you can't read the drive. It asks if you want to format it. Virtualbox will boot it and run it though.

No matter what I piece of hardware I am working on, I can have everything I am comfortable with at my fingertips.

Thank you Eric and Patrick. AMAZEBALLS.

I too love the live USB, except for some reason Plasma 5 doesn't work for a hill of beans on my system, so I use the other one with KDE and that runs just fine.

If you ever find an error that shows the cause of that Plasma5 ISO failure to run on your computer, let me know so I can try and fix it.

Use this if you want to see Linux partitions on Windows. http://www.ext2fsd.com
I use it to communicate between Win 7 and Slackware 14.2 on dualboot. Its works with ext4. Be sure to configure it correctly.

I don't want to...I also don't want my employer to either, so I will not install that.

lol

I did have a problem booting it on a USB SSD drive. When it booted up it said it couldn't find the live partition. It worked with my Samsung USB thumb drive, worked with my 1.5TB Western Digital USB drive, but the ADATA 240GB SSD USB drive, it doesn't find the live partition. It will boot, but at some point it looks for the partition on the drive where Slackware is, but it says it's not found.
