My goal is to sit down at keyboard and not be able to tell whether
Linux resided on a USB stick or on the hard drive (cf the old AI
goal of having computer indistinguishable from human.)

For the record, it is possible to install a full-fledged Linux
distribution onto a USB stick. That way, it truly is indistinguishable
(I'm assuming we're ignoring things like the USB stick flashing at you
- what matters is the user experience).

However, it's not really recommended. USB keys are slow and unreliable
compared to hard drives.


Sounds like a Microsoft exec - we know better
