USB FlashDrives The New PC? 305
olddotter writes "Yahoo has an article about how large capacity USB drives might be redefining the concept of the personal computer. The article is windows specific, but think knopix on a flash drive." From the article: "When you check into an average hotel room and find -- alongside the alarm clock, hair dryer and DVD player that once were bring-your-own items but now are as standard as the furniture -- a cheap PC for guests to plug into, as our truly personal computing environment travels with us."

Take a look at http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions
It's not VPM, it's DamnSmallLinux.org that is making the source code hard to get. The $10 VPM charges is $7 plus the cost of remailing the CDs which is $3 for postage and an envelope. So if you want to report anybody, report DSL. Or better yet send DSL an email and ask them why they are doing it.
