Benefits of ditching the hard drive

- Less weight to carry

- No data to loose

- No IT department crud on the computer (backup software...no
data no backups...no remote control/update software to provide
a juicy target and attack vector for hackers).

- No need to worry about spending time twiddling the OS/apps.
Just live with what the Linux distro provides. There are
plenty to choose from.

- No Microsoft OSs, Applications, Updates, FUD, update $$$.

- No Antivirus $$$/FUD/worries (I know, Linux is not immune,
but look at where the bulk of the actual attacks/viri are)

- No time wasted dealing with clueless corporate IT "support"
people (they won't talk to you if you're not running their
bloated, buggy, virus-infested software load...and that
is a *good* thing).
