Here are the results:

did not work, an error occured with the imaging program.
I bought a ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 on USB stick for a few EUR and VOILA:
everything ran fast like hell and working fine on the biz laptop. I still decided to buy the viliv x70 cause I need it for traveling and will for sure try ubuntu again, I like by the simplicity of the desktop and the fact that it is a slim system.

Thanks Chippy!
What I found:
1. a german page where you can buy for low money differents sticks complete with Linux versions installed, even one with Windows XP:
http://www.linuxusbstick.de
2. You can run skype mobile version fully from a usb stick, there is just a batch file to be created which re-routes the personnel data normally stored on the laptop to be stored on the USB stick:

Lot’s of options to try and then I’ll give feedback.
I probably buy the viliv anyways…

Granted, it’s not simple if you’re used to Windows only. If you’re lucky, your PC will automatically boot from a USB stick when it is plugged in.

Here’s a good version of Linux and a tutorial.

Very good initiative!

What is really needed is a simple and objective comparision of built-in webcams. We need for the laptops in question to be put side-by-side in an office (or similar), pointed towards some moving object, and the videos published so that every reader can decide for herself which camera looks the best.

Repeating the test in “low” lighting would be a nice bonus.

CPU usage while doing this would also be nice.

Hmm sounds interesting, just two issues:
Do I have to mess with BIOS for this? I have to check If I can access it (very rigid rules here…)
And I don’t know jack about linux… Do you have a source where I can read how to configure the a USB stick for this?
thx – Michael

How about taking a USB stick and booting a basic skype-capable Linux oson your existing laptop?

Hi Chippy,

I am looking to skype with video with my family when I am on business trips.
Since our company laptop does not allow any kind of personnel stuff / programs, I need an additional small device for email, webbrowsing, small texts – and video skype.

What I was looking at and need some advice:
1. Viliv S5 with external webcam/mic (logitech)
Is the screen big enough (I know, high resolution) to see my skype partners without magnifying glass?
2. Viliv X70 with internal webcam/mic.
Is the internal webcam good enough so that my partners (esp. my kids) can recognize me?
3. How is the overall performance of the s5/x70 with Skype video? Is 3G a must for skype video?

thanks for any advice / comments
Michael
