I built a live Debian Sage USB key wich is able to clone itself on another key, indefinitely. I will make the prototype (and the source code) available when i will be back home with a good internet connection. Other features of the key are : personal data persistence, no personal data is duplicated, possibility for the user to share additional data from her key to the cloned one (pdf lecture notes, worksheets, pictures of the workshop,...), lot of softwares (geogebra, latex, editors, gimp, vlc, libreoffice,... there is no need to be small since the bandwith limit is the size of the key).
I'm intrigued by the idea of using this to distribute Sage to students as well. I'm curious: how does the software selection compare to, for example, mathbuntu (http://www.mathbuntu.org/), particularly the math packages? Also, is it possible to easily do Sage development with this key? I keep running into somewhat frustrating problems getting students up to speed with a linux/sage development environment, and having a USB key I can keep up to date and hand them would be wonderful.
