Real good live persistent USB OS

Wow. Best Live USB stick OS I have had yet. UNHACKABLE! (so far)



It is a BSD



Best auto HDw detect I've seen and plays 5 GB hi res movie files flawlessly.



Jumped right on the net after I chose the path and gave the pass.



NomadBSD



BSD runs rather resplendently on a Raspberry Pi too:

And BSD makes good use of the greater raw horsepower available on any old discarded PC or laptop.

Thank you,

In the Macintosh world, bootable externals (USB and Firewire 20 years ago, lightning etc. today) have always been available, but it's a nuisance to remember which data and programs and documents are where.

As multiple data-breach reports remind us, the cloud is not a perfect solution either.

For keeping things straight in the memory of the user, virtual machines aren't helpful, either. Main-machine (or three) and sidekick backup disk still works out well, though. In theory, I could keep multiple OS'es (versions matter) on a single disk, but that just gets almost as confusing as virtual machines.
