Am unsure - was hoping someone tried this and there is a tested component list of consumer grade pc parts that can do the trick
Has anyone considered a home server? Assuming mobility is not important if we pick components to match a similar hardware would it be more value for money?
Curious : why would you say no design patterns?
Woah! Never thought this would be crawled by the google bot. Thanks for sharing

from the ask-hn dept.
Since OS distros can be mounted on a USB Drive and booted, curious whether anyone uses a USB Drive as a laptop replacement. Are there any pitfalls? USBs seem a convenient way to turn most computers into a personalized PC
Well, what concerns me most here is this: The US Government is in a spot wrt US citizens and US homeland, blanket surveillance on the rest of the world seems fair game.
Sure, the law would not protect the 'aliens'. Concerned citizens should look at being aware of alternative tools that would minimize possibility of the US Gov eavesdropping, inadvertently or otherwise. Perhaps a system of opensource OSs, TOR logins and specially crafted logins, on pre-identified low risk networks. thoughts?
