[Ham-Computers] RE: USB memory stick - cruzer question

[kd4e]

Puppy Linux will run using a USB memory stick as the
HDD, though I believe it executes in memory (it is a
very small and tightly coded OS).

You may load a ton of apps, including Ham apps, on the
same USB stick and run them as well.  Nothing proprietary.

Is that what you were thinking of?
