   Thanks for sharing. I use something similar to run WordPress on a USB stick. I use XAMPP Lite located at apachefriends.com. It works fairly well.

   Nifty. I found this a lot easier to set up and use than XAMPP, making it good for local testing in general as well as the intended use.

   WP makes a great platform for a digital textbook. Running WP from a Stick would allow a student to have a basic working copy of their textbook, even if not connected to the Internet. Adding various Web 2.0 plugins to the portable site would allow for embedding a Prezi, VoiceThread, or other multimedia presentation, or being able to add mp4 audio notes that are saved on the USB stick.

   Add a portable version of Firefox, with “Mobile Barcoder” QR app, and you have a great presentation tool. Plug your flash drive into a presentation podium in a classroom, run your version of Firefox and portable WP and present (with or without the Internet).

   “WOS Portable” – der Webserver auf dem USB-Stick

   … ist zwar nicht mein Betriebssystem – aber trotzdem interessant:
   Bei CH Sotware gibt es mit WOS (Webserver on a Stick) einen kompletten Webserver für den USB-Stick. Das Paket besteht aus:

   Apache 2.2.0
   MySQL 5.0.18
   PHP 4.4.2/PHP 5.1.2…

   […] My name is Art, and I’m a Portable Apps user. I frequent places like portableapps.com, looking for new programs I can stick on my thumb drive. I carry my email client with me, my FTP program with me, and my word processor. If I got an even bigger thumb drive, I could take a whole office suite with me. I don’t have to worry about installing and configuring these programs on different computers – I just pop the drive in and go. Until yeaterday, I had not heard about this clever idea; running an Apache server, with WordPress, from a USB drive. […]
