I can certainly confirm this. I have a mini-itx system that boots off a 
128MB USB key. The next stage in the project is to add various custom tools 
and I'll have a nice wireless mp3 player to put downstairs with the rest of 
the Hi-Fi gear with the Linux mp3 file server sitting up here in the study. 
Assuming work doesn't interfere, this should all be working by the end of 
the weekend.
