Good idea, but how often can you just boot your own OS on somebody else's
computer ? Oftenly, computers are locked down against this, anyway.

The situation I am most concerned about are remote staff with their laptops, and users who want to access the office from home. Both cases are the ones with serious issues. With Knoppix (and other similar "apps") it does not need any harddrive so you dont need to install and OS on another person's computer.
