Just suppose that I wanted to create a machine that would FYI - I am planning to create this thing on a new Zotac So what I'm basically trying to do is create a 'disk-less' Thanks for any help / insight! ZBOX 1320-U:
boot from a USB flash drive - a relatively big flash drive -
32gb to 64gb - or whatever is required.
And I wanted this thing to boot either Win7 or XP.
Anybody here have any experience with such an experience?
'ZBox' with a Celeron processor and 4GB of memory (which I
have - the memory - not the Zbox).

I had a 10gig netbook that was obsolete and I use as my bathroom wifi radio now and it ran on Windows XP - but barely. So I bought an Ubuntu loaded thumbdrive and ran it off of that and that was fine for a while until it stopped working and then I got a thumbdrive running Chrome and it works fine most of the time for wireless Pandora or radio.

I used to run Ubuntu on a couple of old Celeron machines.
Well, sure but Chuck seems to want Windows and some apps, not just a Chromebook browser setup with a few media extensions.
When you ran Linux in your bathroom, did you invoke the toilet command? With or without the "gay" border option? : ) Linux.com: Fun with figlet and toilet You make think this is an odd topic but a single web search revealed that there has been a formal conference on Linux In The Bathroom for some time. ZDnet: Conference Encourages Linux In The Bathroom Yes, they want to use Linux to flush their toilets, among many other tasks. That's all I got for computer potty humor for today, I think.
