"Mandriva Flash is a 2GB Dane-Elec USB key loaded with Mandriva Linux 2007. It gets points for style: the key is an attractive deep blue surrounded by a sturdy metal fence that leaves room on both ends to attach the key to a lanyard or keychain. The release notes say that the operating system and related files only take up half the space on the USB drive, leaving 1GB for my own files. This little powerhouse packs a lot of punch, once you get it up and running."

Agreed that with gentoo we can create a USB stic containing many applications, what more we can do this with almost every Linux. However, the difference here is that Mandriva, as a company, is providing such a disk, end user like me does not have to do it.
I packs too many application in 1 GB leaving 1 GB for personal use. It is commendable to have Xorg, KDE( Oraganizer, Alarm, Kmail, Fax, Palm Pilot etc..), Gimp, OpenOffice, Firefox, Real Player and Networking support in just 1 GB.
Again I would say that, some of us can do this with any Linux, but does that deter us from appritiating a nice effort by Mandriva?
