4GB USB Linux Challenge

I’ve been thinking and planning to build/install a custom version of either devian or ubuntu which will be installed on a USB Drive for carrying arround wherever I go.

I want this to achieve the following

  • Porvide a fully functional bash shell.
  • Allow a X server to run with either Fluxbox or XFCE.
  • Synchronise with Local copies of Applications like Evolution and Opera
  • Have basic multimedia features.

I thought it would be better to have two partitions. A FAT32 Partition to store all my data (will be mounted under /media/data of /home/surajram/data). This partition should be accessible by traditional Windows or DOS OSs. I guess it would be best to make the other partitition as ext3. I am also thinking of using an alternate filesystem like reiserFS, have to consider the performance differences.
