    Just installed XFCE4, currently installing open office, the only down side sofar is theres no GUI for pacman, im gonna look for one though, im sure someone has made one
    Thats the conlusion i came to. If i really wanted a portable version of linux i would carry a live distrobution around on either a CD or flashdrive / external HDD. I really don't see the use for this.

    Sadly, I have to chip in here. Ubuntu's slow enough as is...I can only imagine that it would run poorly on a flash key, not to mention using it for an OS drive can kill it early from all the reads/writes.
