I'm thinking along the lines of using a swappable hard drive, or a dedicated partition on the existing HD, or booting from a USB HD.
Good point. Any views on how the USB interface on your generic laptop would be up to dealing with all the traffic (songs coming off USB HD, and then going back out to D/A)? I know that on paper there is more than enough bandwidth, but...
With Linux, USB is just another bus, like a SATA or SCSI bus.
The bandwith is a bit lower -- 30MByte/sec max for mass storage, but that's still fast enough.
Dunno about with another O/S, though.
