I run Knoppix on one of my USB keys, but the fact remains that there's just not enough space for what I need (yet?) and also there is also the need for me to still run Windows because other people haven't caught on, and thus I require a Windows interface to them, which comes with it's own bloat. If I stayed on with SSC(LG, LJ, Tux), I'd probably be full blown Linux right now because of the context of what I was doing. But that's not my context now. Unfortunate. And using a webmail interface sucks with PGP. :-)
