Doesn’t that work with just a big USB stick? I’ve definitely plopped a Linux HD in a new computer and had it work with almost no changes (fstab and maybe adding graphics card support).
Yes. I used to use Knoppix. It was cutting edge for the time. Similar in concept to immutable distros today that allow you have some mutable data storage.
So, they are kind of like Linux Live USB sticks with persistant storage?
Tbh, that’s pretty much what it looks like, the only “innovation “ there appears to be also glueing vmware on top.
