(There is always a but) But once installed it is absolutely hard to uninstall. I would want to uninstall because some windows programs don't run in Fedora or linux. For example Dragon naturally speaking voice recognition software to mention just one. Yes I do agree that free software is great.

If you want more people to use your product, you need to provide the people that use the more wider used OS a tool so they can convert. Make it easy.

When someone says "acquire a key", I think they're talking about PKI and id_dsa. If you mean "put files on a USB flash drive", then please say so. Wikipedia for "USB key" and see where you end up.

Now with new usb-thingy: https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator Cant wait to try it out. Something that would be great in the future would be if the usb drive could include something like a virtual machine in addition to fedora, and you would be able to start up linux on any machine instead of doing stuff with the bios-boot-settings. Then you could even go to the library and just run your usb-linux and get some work done there :) Fedora 9 is out!

My school employs swappable drive bays for lab work. I have a matching bay at my home but the hardware profile is completely different. I would like to move this hardrive back and forth. The Live CD image would work fine, but I want to save my changes. Is there a way to force a rescan of the hardware so that it wouldn't crash when the hardware is completely different?
