How bout a Slax Live CD? or maybe a LIVE Knoppix CD. No HD needed EVER. Just plug in your favorite USB thumb drive to save stuff. All that is needed is an open mind to different operating systems. You can have your cake and eat it too. People might want to check out the (Gigabyte IRAM card)... That is after you learn you can load up an operating system with a full GUI on to that card and surf from it---IRAM is at 4 GIG right now but you can put in more than one card (pci slot)and(DDR NEEDED) Solid state memory is faster than a mechanical HD and if you ever want to dump all contents in a few seconds (literally) --->unplug the battery from the card--since it's DDR ,when the voltage reaches (0 volts) on the card everything goes bye bye forever. This is only the extreme for some one who wants the best in computer security. Ever try a D@m small linux Live CD?
