Student innovation
Two Southern Wesleyan University students compiled a computer operating system for a thumb drive, complete with user data and usable applications. In March, the group presented findings from their research project. Their goal was to easily transport an operating system, data files and applications from one computer to another.
The group received a research grant from South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. Their project is called the Simplified Linux Automated Desktop project, or SLAD.
"As one moves from business computer systems, to labs, to home; files and settings are different and can create complications for users,” Jordan said. A solution to the challenge is to compact the information, settings, an operating system and programs all onto a single, portable thumb drive that runs independently of the installed desktop operating system, he said.
