This is for the ubuntu version on the USB pen, which was downloaded from the joggler hacking wiki.  The default OS is an 8.04 on an ext2 partition.

BTRFS isn't that bad from what I have used of it, but resizing / is a bit of a pain, as the USB Ubuntu didn't even have btrfs-tools installed by default.  There was an ext3 version, but it was reported to kill USB pens.

Ian, I will be using it as desktop clock and radio, however my USB drive will of course have tools such as NMap and Metaspolit on it.  Claudio and Alistair Murray from Edlug are also looking into these devices.  They are quite an interesting find.  I'll most likely be doing a talk over the summer about them, as my Shodan talk is pencilled in for July and others are also doing them, but I'd be happy to bring it along to the June meeting.

Cheers,
Rab
