When you step into a cyber café or when you use a public computer, you don’t find yourself to be familiar with that system because at home you have customized your PC according to your needs.

Advantages…
1. Reduced risk from infected host systems.
2. Greater security.
3. Document privacy.
4. Computing your way.
Requirements…
1. A 1GB or larger USB flash drive.
2. A computer capable of booting from a USB device or CD.
3. PendriveLinux Operating System.Installation Steps…
1. Ensure your USB flash drive is formatted as Fat16 or Fat32
2. Download Pendrivelinux08.zip
3. Extract the contents from Pendrivelinux08.zip to your USB device

One downside to using Linux on a remote computer is that you may have to boot from your flash drive on your main computer when you get home to transfer files. That's because Windows can't see the folders on your Linux desktop or its file structure. Linux, on the other hand, will have no problem mounting your computer's hard drives. This enables you to copy files from your flash drive to a hard disk. Naturally, this quirk is not a problem if you're storing your documents online.
If you've been spending your computing life in the Windows world up until now, versions of Linux that run on removable media offer a great chance to explore some new possibilities. You may be surprised how convenient and simple it can be.
