    Default Why I'm here?

    I bought a large lot of Dell Laptops (36) with Latitude On buttons. For those unfamiliar with this hardware feature option, it allowed a user to boot either a stripped down OS or full Windows. The mini OS was wicked fast and power stingy but its use was limited to email use and browsing. There was specific hardware in the form of a flash drive that plugged into a dedicated pci like port in the laptop to store and boot this partition but if you lacked this, the OS was stored on a partition of the main notebook drive. After reading *REMOVED* and examining the port, it seems to me that a full Linux OS can be installed on a 1.8" SSD and used from that port. All that is required is a driver and/or some other low level programming if the port is electrically compatible with a standard SSD.

    That was my hope and the aim of becoming a member here, does anyone have an opinion on the viability of this project? Moderators, feel free to move this post to where it is most likely to get the most traction.
