Last year I tested installing a complete Linux OS on USB drive (thumb drive) of 1G size. It worked booting direct on PC. It has a compressed system compressing files on USB thumb drive. Nowadays 2/4G thumb drives are available on market with their price contiune dropping. The advantage of running thumb drive is convenient to carry. Its disadvantage is having life-time. I don't know how big will be your database. I'm sure a complete Linux OS can be installed on a thumb drive of 1G size without sacrifying its features, not featherweight nor damnsmall Linux. I also tested the latter on thumb drive. They worked fantastically. B.R.
