Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

WordPress, web development, and world domination.

Personal networking suite in your pocket

Okay, this is pretty darned cool: Metropipe has a product called Virtual Privacy Machine, which is actually a tiny (82MB) Linux distribution which boots into a virtual machine under Windows. It contains common networking apps like Firefox and Thunderbird, and I assume ssh and friends, as well.

Since it’s so small, you can load it onto a small USB drive, MP3 player, or whatever portable media you have, mount it up on a computer wherever you happen to be, and keep all your personal settings with you. As an added bonus, it’s downloadable via Bittorrent. (via Hal Rottenberg).
