[xubuntu-users] Off topic, suggestions for light weight linux OS

[Rog]

Art:

Also take a look at Porteus linux. very fast / light weight. Hopefully you 
could build-in the features you want: read the FAQs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porteus_(operating_system)

http://www.porteus.org/.

P.S. You asked about locking a USB drive. Some of them have the ability to 
lock against writes but that would probably not be a good choice as you'll 
need I/O both ways.

Let us know what you settle on
