Hi,

Today I came across the article [1] which talks about product from the
company fingergear [2] called Computer On a Stick. Basically it's just a
USB Flash drive with a Live distro of Linux installed on it. You insert
it in your PC and then simply boot from the USB disk.

It would be very cool if Ubuntu would release an image which could be
easily put a USB drive. 

Furthermore "Ubuntu On a Stick" would also be a nice addition for the
Ubuntu shop. It would be a great give away as well.

Maybe it could also be used in projects like One Laptop Per Child.
Instead of a laptop people would get a USB stick which they can insert
in PC's which are spread around multiple locations.
