Nowadays it's mere chance to find a USB Thumb Drive with less than 4GB storage.
Though, you want a dedicated Drive to transport your password database, ssh keys and GPG keys.
Those dont require more than a couple MB. So what to do with the remaining space?
Scenarios:
- You visit friends, only have your keys with you and you have to check your mails, assist a colleague
in some network/ops emergency or just securely look up some important information.
- A family member calls, their HDD just died and you are asked to quickly help out on recovery.
Boot into a safe environment, having all your credentials available in a secure manner.
Have a bootable forensics toolbox around to quickly get going in a familiar setup.
Solution: multi-boot!
## TODO
- [ ] explain setup, ideas, practises
