Flash Drive Linux vs. Standard Linux Desktops

“Completely independent of any one single workstation or using a
thin client box at work, the end-user is free to hop from computer
to computer as they see fit. Any needed network settings, secure
access to company servers, etc, is made possible due to the network
settings stored on the flash drive. So there’s no need to worry
about consistent settings being mismanaged as one person logs off
and another logs on. Differing user permissions travel with each
user.

“Another advantage that potentially goes beyond what thin client
hardware will offer is how easy it is to take your “computer” home
with you. Just plugin the pre-configured flash drive into your
computer at home, satisfy the necessary login to the company VPN
and get to work.

“Best of all, critical data that isn’t allowed to be accessed
from outside of the workplace can be restricted via network
policies. So there’s less of a security hassle by using a flash
drive over a company laptop.”
