FingerGear Computer-on-a-Stick Review : Review

Added to the directory: Tue, 16 Aug, 2005. Source: HardwareCentral.

Quote: And now FingerGear has put not just data, not just applications, but a whole operating system on a keychain. The $149 Computer-on-a-Stick is a bootable USB flash drive that carries a modified Debian Linux 2.6 OS and Gnome 2.8 desktop along with the Microsoft Office-compatible OpenOffice.org suite, Firefox browser, GAIM instant-messaging client, and other programs. The idea is that you plug it into almost any x86 system, reboot, and enjoy the same work environment no matter what is or isn't installed on the PC. When you're done, you shut down and put the Stick back in your pocket, leaving no files, bookmarks, cookies, or browsing history on the host machine. The only part of the device accessible by the host is a "public" folder, which works like any other flash drive to transfer files to and from other PCs.
