I just installed Firefox to my USB thumb drive to use at work on my Win98/dialup computer tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I could've just put the installer on the drive and installed it for real on the computer tomorrow, but if this works, it's a big step toward better usability on friends' computers and such.

If I liked Linux more, I'd make myself an entire CD- or DVD-based install of one of those smaller distros, and just boot that when I need to use a friend's computer. That would be neat. Though less writable. And more likely to freak out the friend.

Knoppix is pretty popular; Debian on a CD, seems to Just Work on many computers.
