Greetings,
I first want to say I have been enjoying reading and learning from all the posts here.
I have a question and please do not roll your eyes at me for asking this. I still have not been able to obtain a decent used computer for myself and am at the mercy of using my room mates. He told me I absolutely could NOT partition his hard drive and put some version of Linux on it. So, I have seen that the price of an iOmega external 1TB HD is on sale right now for around $80. Would I be able to plug in one of those to his computer and download say Mint since I am a newbie, and then only use it off of that external HD? Plus use it then on whatever computer I finally do obtain? This is so he will not know or complain. I am alone with his computer during the day, so I would have time to plug and play. I am not sure if these external HD's require downloading anything to the main computer you are plugged into or not. I do not want anything to show on his computer.
Anyway, I hope this was not an eye roller of a question.
Thank you
