Launchy is a free windows and linux utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!
It would be good to have Launchy installed on your portable storage device (USB Flash Drives, Portable Hard Drives, Memory Cards, Music Players etc) to index our files and other portable applications. And once you start using Launchy on your Computer, you are bound to miss the “feature” on other computers that you may use. So here we are going to install launchy on to your USB Drive.

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.
