Gdium Netbook Uses USB Key for a Hard Drive

Here's a netbook with a twist: Emtec's 10-inch Gdium Liberty has no hard drive. Instead, it will ship with a bootable USB storage stick (dubbed the G-Key) that runs Mandriva G-Linux and has over 50 open-source applications pre-installed: including OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and Spam Assassin. The novel concept would allow it to be shared amongst users (say, a family) who's individual G-Key's store their own files and preferences.    (source: pcworld.com)
