Why am i doing this? Update 4

You may wonder why i think this is worth doing and why i will invest time into it. I decided to do a quick test just before this post so i found one of the models im working on in blender rendered it in windows saved it in my drop box then restarted my pc booting into Linux. At the moment i am dual booting Windows 7 and Linux Mint i choose mint for many reasons and it fills all my needs so no need to install something like Arch. Anyway the test results Windows 7: 29 seconds and Linux Mint: 13 seconds that is less than half the time Windows took. These results would improve on a lighter desktop as right now my Linux Mint is using the fantastic Cinnamon and also i have alot of other stuff running using up resources. Where as blender-boot will have a light desktop environment and less running in the background. It was not the most complex render so I will be doing more testing when Blender-boot Alpha 1 is ready but in my experience Linux always renders quicker.

I used same machine and standard Blender 2.62 for both
amd fx bulldozer 4100
8gb ram
ati hd 6850(yes even ATI cards work well enough for Blender tasks at least under Linux)

Blender-boot has a logo! Update 2

This is the blender-boot logo. Was not the top of priority list but im stuck with windows today so did this and im now making the default wallpapers.

Welcome to the Blender-boot project Update 1

Hi and welcome!
The blender-boot project is my idea to create a bootable flash drive that boots straight into blender with very little other application services etc running. The USB will be a lightweight custom Ubuntu distro, using most likely the LXDE window manager. On booting the usb, it will go straight into the distro with Blender already open. The whole idea is to make blender and especially renders as smooth and fast as possible. A bleeding-edge Blender PPA will be added to be sure you have the latest stable version, provided by updating not reninstalling. The USB will have persistence to store your work and also Dropbox to load your files in your main Os or another pc etc. Default applications that may change (except Blender obviously) are as follows:
Blender
Dropbox for easy file transfer
Gimp for textures, render tweaking etc
Chrome for looking up tutorials and support choose Chrome as its has instant sync between pc`s when logging in so you will have same bookmarks etc as you do in your main OS
Guake terminal for any terminal needs too many to list choose Gauke as it can be accessed any time you need  it by just pressing one key (default is F12 will try change this for the usb or give instructions to change it, as F12 is default key for render in blender)
Deepin software center for installing any other applications you may need(Deepin runs smoother than Ubuntu software center)

file manager is undecided at this moment in time

More applications may be added still but want to keep it to the minimum
