Mandriva describes this method of distributing the operating system as an ” ideal companion for travellers”, as users can take their desktop with them anywhere.

“Plug in the USB key, boot up your PC and within a handful of seconds the Mandriva Linux 2010 operating system is ready for work, listening to music or surfing the internet,” the company said.

As well as being a “live” version of Linux, users can use Mandriva Flash 2010 to install the operating system onto a workstation PC with just a few clicks.

Mandriva Linux 2010 features a new Smart Desktop, which allows users to group documents and files according to “projects”.

The distribution also includes Mozilla’s Firefox browser and Thunderbird email client, along with Skype, Google Toolbar and the OpenOffice.org application suite.

What Makes a Good Linux Flash Drive?
Running an operating system, such as Linux, on a USB flash drive can have many advantages and there are several options of portable Linux versions that will allow for this. The portability of your information is a big advantage and if the computer is setup to do so, you can boot directly from your Linux flash drive which bypasses the operating system installed on the computer. This allows for a much more secure connection and does not make your authentication password or files visible to the computer.
