[Ubuntu Chicago] Ubuntu 9.04 release party planning

[Robert Stolorz]

I think there was a fork of ubuntu that was specifically designed to run 
on a USB. I set one up last year but I'm sorry I don't remember the 
name. It was pretty cool but frustrating when you get an older PC which 
couldn't boot from USB.

It's kind of cool but can be slow on loading. Never found it too useful. 
However now you can get addons for firefox to sync bookmarks and you can 
even create a script so it will try to sync files upon boot with a 
remote server so it might be pretty useful.
