Is there something similar in Brazil? I still haven't seen that film despite being told to watch it by numerous people. I'm putting it on my to do list...
Yes, what you're talking about with the minimal linux sans x seems to figure...

Here's a teaser:

Not too much unlike a modern office, just instead of gangster movies on the video teletype, it's funny cat videos on the laptop... ;D
I haven't had much time to research the Linux idea, but my weekend is coming up, and I'll see what I can come up with.
TinyCore might be just the thing as it already starts up with a framebuffer, we just need to NOT start up the Window Manager (or maybe we do, I'm still looking into it...) and at 10 Megabytes, it's able to live comfortably on a USB with all your other important data. ;)
Gimme another day or three and I'll hopefully have more information...

also found this today [http://goo.gl/4ia2B], which made me think of the chrome nix thing, if it could just be booted into quickly, fullscreen, with this write space app. that might be quick, dirty, easy
gotta watch Brazil. Just watched Home Fries with my gf. I didn't think it would be such an interesting story...
cmpm:
Is that google write-space different then Writespace?
http://writespace.codeplex.com/
Is google's some sort of browser plug-in?
Edvard:
Oooh, yeah just put the Chrome OS on a stick and bob's yer uncle... Nice.
TinyCore also has Cloud functionality in mind, so that's still an option.
The only drawback is you'd need net access, but that might not be such a hurdle these days.
And as long as we're talking about doing it on the net, how about using something like Dropbox as the write folder?
Just boot, type your manifesto, save it to your dropbox folder, retrieve at will.
Hmmm...
