Abstract
Over the past few years, there have been numerous developments of more
efficient and portable ways of using computers. Hardware and storage have
been designed to provide progressively smaller systems for computing while
speed and data performance has greatly increased.
The purpose of this project is to provide a complete Operating System and
tools on a USB flash drive. This is done with the aim of providing users with a
much more portable, durable and affordable outlook to computing. Users can
also share or reuse the same hardware while keeping their operating systems
and data separate.
This project is necessary as other options require people to have and carry
their own hardware, or rely strictly on the operating systems preinstalled on
existing machines. Customers have preference for portable and cost-effective
devices, while administrators want to simplify asset management. Overall,
this project offers a new outlook on using IT hardware while bringing choice
and convenience to end users.
