Linux on a super tiny flash drive

This is regarding a recently launched kickstarter for all Linux enthusiasts (for both the adventurous & the daunted :)) The campaign has two components to it : Linux Mint on a super tiny flashdrive and a 36”x24” cheatsheet poster. The Tuxdrive (Linux on USB) is a 8GB disk in a super small form factor and runs Linux Mint. The cool thing about this drive is that it can stay on the laptop or desktop forever in a non-obstrusive fashion. The TuxPoster is a cheatsheet meant for 3 levels of users : the basic user (file operations, permissions, hotkeys etc), the intermediate (grep, regular expressions, sed and awk, shell scripting) and the admin (processes, networking and system admin).
