Hi Folks,

I'm pretty new to Linux and know very little... I'd like to create a portable installation on a USB stick with a ability to boot to it from a variety of computers.   I know a live installation would be best for this but I'd prefer to do a regular installation.  Is it reasonable to expect such an installation would be widely compatible with most modern computers I might want to use (e.g., hotel business centers, etc.)?  Does LL autodetect hardware and have a local driver repository so it can pull drivers in as it boots?  I'm not looking for support for anything beyond a functional desktop with keyboard, mouse, basic display and (sort of important) whatever printer might be attached.

Thanks!
