I think I remember something about copying my home folder on ubuntu to a usb stick and taking it with me around town. Is this a similar concept? It's like the "spaces" feature in leopard...duh! been doing that for years. "Another reason to switch to mac[buntu]"

It was going to be a feature of Mac OS 10.3, but unfortunately they pulled the plug on it. Also the patent was filed for in 2000. I don't think we'll see this anytime soon, and I was looking forward to that too :(
